Preparing for home visit...

Dad's made enough progress that we can consider a weekend home visit. This will allow Mom some time to adjust to his presence in the house and the changes that will need to occur. I told her that we could arrange a weekend and I would stay over to help out.

Dad's ability to balance continues to be his biggest challenge. He can walk with the assistance of a walker without a problem. He can balance on his own for two minutes without any assistance. He can even balance on his own with his eyes clothes. He can go up and down steps - three flights. The hospital is gearing up to get him home. The assessment at the house by the hospital indicated a few issues, but nothing unexpected. Mom's getting a little anxious about Dad's return to home, but I'm sure it's what she'd prefer.
