Today at 12 PM, the nursing home held a BBQ celebration, and it was a bittersweet moment for us since yesterday.
I was scared at the moment been told yesterday didn’t know how many days needed stayed. I’m surprised it’s was just one night.
My dad returned to the nursing home just in time for the event. Although he is still not capable of moving around freely, his presence at the BBQ was a small yet significant triumph. It’s a reminder that despite the challenges, there are moments of joy to be found.
We’re thankful he’s back and able to be part of the celebration, even in a limited way. 🌟

Today at 3 PM, I received a call from the nursing home. In that moment, I was hoping for good news or positive updates. However, what I heard was quite different. My dad had fallen out of his wheelchair. It was a sad and unexpected turn of events. I had assumed they were taking good care of him, but this incident raised concerns not only for me but also for my mother.
My dad was taken to the hospital, back to Lutheran. Initially, we thought he might need surgery, but surprisingly, he only stayed one night but nurse didn’t know if needed more time hospital. The situation remains uncertain, and we’ll continue to share updates as we navigate this new chapter in his recovery journey. Thank you for being part of our story and for your ongoing support. 🙏

It’s a day of cautious optimism as we receive encouraging news about my father’s recovery. At his recent appointment at Lutheran, he underwent a crucial chewing and swallowing test, which is a significant step toward regaining his full abilities. The results were positive, and he has been advised to continue working on his swallowing and drinking skills, even though he is still dependent on a feeding tube.
However, there’s a small setback. My dad still struggling mobility standinging transfering. We didn’t get the opportunity to meet with the speech therapist today. Their assessment is vital for the nursing home to understand and effectively support my dad’s needs. Despite this, we remain hopeful. Every step, no matter how small, is a victory in its own right.
As we navigate this complex recovery process, we learn to celebrate every bit of progress. Recovery is not linear, and patience and perseverance are our allies. We’re grateful for the skilled care and support we’ve received so far and are determined to continue this journey with the same resilience and optimism that has brought us to this point.

Today marks a significant milestone in my father’s recovery journey. After weeks filled with small victories and persistent challenges, the hospital has transferred him to Cambridge Care Center, a skilled nursing facility. This move is a hopeful step towards his full recovery.
The doctors have estimated that, typically, someone of his age—57—might take around six months to recover. However, we’re optimistic that with his resilience and the dedicated care he’s receiving, he might be back on his feet in half that time.
While he’s not walking yet, his ability to move around is a positive sign of his improving condition. The timeline for when he’ll walk again is still uncertain, but we’re encouraged by every bit of progress. Communications some how my dad is struggling memory based off stayed hospital. Sad about if my dad will understand it my dad is been capable speaking but not memory.
In these moments of uncertainty, I find strength in being present for my dad. That’s why I’ve decided to stay overnight at the care center whenever necessary. It’s not just about offering him comfort, but also about being a part of his recovery, witnessing each step forward which is looking after each visit.
As we embark on this new chapter, our hearts are filled with gratitude for the progress made and hope for the days ahead. We know the road to recovery is not a straight line, but we’re ready to face it together, celebrating each small step towards a brighter future.

Today is a day of hope and gratitude. My father’s journey toward recovery has been challenging, but we continue to move forward, one step at a time.
Positive Signs
– The tube that was once attached to his neck is no longer needed. It’s a small victory, but it represents progress. – His speech has returned, and he can communicate with me. It’s heartwarming to hear his voice again. – However, his eyesight remains a challenge. I am hopeful that with time and therapy, he’ll regain his ability to see clearly.
Taking Small Steps
– My dad can move around, although walking is still a work in progress. But every step he takes is a testament to his strength and determination. – Bug or not, we celebrate each movement, each word spoken, and each day of progress.
Staying Overnight
– Tonight, I’am staying overnight at the hospital. It’s a way to be closer to Dad, to offer comfort, and to witness his journey firsthand. – The journey ahead remains uncertain, but our hope burns bright. We’ll continue navigating this path together, supporting each other, and cherishing every moment of progress.

Today at 10 AM, I met with the speech therapy team at Lutheran Medical Center to assist my father. His progress has been impressive, and he’s becoming more stable. However, the nurse cautioned that it might take 6 months for him to regain his previous level of functioning, especially in terms of communication and understanding and because his stroke is very serious.
The nurse informed me that my father is ready for discharge to a rehabilitation facility. However, there’s a hurdle: I lack the authority to access his bank account for long-term care expenses. Bank statements are required for this process. The nurses doctors currently focusing on improving his communication skills before the eventual discharge, which should happen soon—possibly by the end of this month.
Note: The journey ahead is challenging, but I remain hopeful. 🌟

Today, April 2, 2024, I went to Lutheran Medical Center to see my father. The nurses told me he is unlikely to get better. However, my father has been improving and is more alert. The nurse informed me that he needs speech therapy, and I will be assisting since my dad only recognizes my voice. The therapy session is scheduled for April 4 at 10 AM.

En este sereno domingo, mientras el sol baña el mundo con su cálida luz, nos reunimos dentro de las sagradas paredes de la iglesia. El aire zumba de anticipación, y los bancos sostienen nuestras esperanzas y cargas por igual.
La Hora Sagrada: Las campanas de la iglesia suenan, llamándonos a la adoración. Entramos en el santuario, dejando atrás el ruido del mundo exterior. Aquí, el tiempo se ralentiza: una pausa sagrada en el ritmo de la vida. Los bancos de madera crujen bajo nuestro peso, y las vidrieras emiten patrones caleidoscópicos en el suelo.
La Luz de la Vida: El sermón comienza, y la voz del predicador teje historias de sabiduría ancestral. Hoy, se trata de **Jesucristo**, la encarnación del amor y el sacrificio. Sus enseñanzas iluminan nuestros corazones, como una linterna en una habitación oscura. Escuchamos, hambrientos de esa luz: la luz que nos guía a través de las tormentas, que sana nuestras heridas.
Comunidad y Conexión: A mi alrededor, los buscadores inclinan la cabeza, sus oraciones susurradas se elevan como incienso. Somos un mosaico de humanidad, cada uno con nuestras historias, dudas y convicciones silenciosas. La iglesia nos une: un tapiz tejido con hilos de fe, duda y esperanza.
La Mesa de la Comunión: Y luego, la Eucaristía: una comida sencilla que trasciende el tiempo. El pan, partido, y el vino, derramado. Participamos, nuestras manos temblando, nuestras almas hambrientas. En este acto, tocamos lo divino: la luz de la vida transmitida a través de las generaciones.
Benedición Dominical: Al concluir el servicio, el sol se filtra a través de las vidrieras, proyectando arcoíris sobre el altar. Salimos al mundo, llevando esa luz dentro de nosotros. Las puertas de la iglesia se abren, y emergemos: renovados, conectados y listos para enfrentar la semana que viene.
Nota: Los domingos son más que rituales; son momentos en los que la luz de la vida penetra nuestras almas.🌟
