"Ya doin' good grandpa?" -Bridger

Day 19
Yep, he's doin good. Bridger, our favorite little two and a half year old, always asks that when he comes to visit grandpa. Grandpa usually gives an enthusiastic two thumbs up, bless his heart.

It is with great pleasure that we have had another day where there haven't been any huge turns of events. Papa is just hangin in there, doing the best he can to communicate, he moves his lips trying to say words, but since he has no air it turns into this fun game of "what is Papa saying today?" and whoever wins gets a gift card to La Jolla Groves. (just kidding)

As for today, Papa is doing as well as can be expected, making small progresses in all of the therapy sessions he has. (speech, physical, occupational.....etc) He is really fighting, and we are so grateful. Every little improvement seems like such a hug win for us. We are definitely hopeful. 

This week will be a big week for us, he will be moved to LTAC (long term acute care) which is located by the Riverwoods. (if you click on the above "LTAC" it will take you to their site and you can see a little of where he will be staying) We aren't sure what this process holds, or how long we expect to be there, but we do know that we are in this for the long haul, and every day that we are together is a miracle.

Again, thank you for your constant prayers, the thoughts in our behalf, and for the many wonderful visits that we have. We will update you when we move to LTAC, and we will continue to update this blog as Papa heals. (because he IS!)

com amor,
The Baers

Tonight there was a CES (church education system) broadcast that will indeed comfort the soul today.
