UPDATE on Dad: He's making a little bit of progress everyday. He's still exhausted, he doesn't get a whole lot of sleep with the nurses and Dr's coming in frequently. They said, "You come to a hospital to get treatment, NOT REST!" I think that's part of treatment. But he started speech therapy yesterday and she had him using his LOUD VOICE. We were out in the hall and heard him YELL his numbers counting to 10. It's the little things that make you happy to hear something that we always took for granted, his voice. We loved hearing him use his LOUD VOICE. He recognizes that he has a left side, with the type of stroke he had, that's great news!!!! He loves the visits with those that stop by, but sometimes he sleeps through them. He has sat in the Cardiac chair for 4-5 hours at time in the last 3 days and its helping his lungs a lot. We love that our dad is a FIGHTER and continues to set such a great example for us.

The Horlacher's always make it a point to stop by the hospital, rehab, house to visit mom and dad. 
The Escher's also came by to see Dad and give him their LOVE and concern. My dad is so LOVED!
Some of the CRAZY monkeys from the hall. This is what the hospital had to put up with every Sunday. We had family all over the hallway outside of dads door. We LOVED just being together and being close to mom and dad. 
Dad with BOTH Tia's.
All of the GRANDKIDS Love Grandpa and LOVE to give him kisses.
As we were all going to our cars, I looked up to the floor that we left, knowing the the nurses were glad to see us leave the hospital, I saw my INCREDIBLE mom standing watching us from the window. This just broke my heart. I just love this woman sooooo much and LOVE the example she has set for all of her kids in the LOVE and SERVICE that she continues to give to our Dad.
Their LOVE has only gotten stronger through all of these trials.
