Visit with Grandad

Thankfully we found Dad to be awake and in good spirits the day we all invaded. He never acted like we were wearing him out but it must have been quite overwhelming. Still, the babies had come a long way (12 hour ride) and weren't about to leave without seeing their great grandfather!

The following day he was to receive his feeding tube and he slept for hours after that procedure. Then today (two days later) he was moved to a nursing home where they can care for him while he hopefully regains the use of the muscles in his eusophagus.

Tonight Erika will arrive with her baby Caroline. They will only be staying for three nights but I'm sure it's a comfort for Mom to see how much she and Dad are loved.
