My dad's first weekend home went well. As expected, the familiar environment has been very good for his recovery. Although he still sleeps a LOT, he has come out of his room on his own to sit in the recliner, read the paper a little bit, eat, shower. Today he laid on the floor to play with Uncle Scott's dog, Max. His appetite has finally returned and after losing over 30 pounds in the hospital over the past month, we're hoping to fatten him up. The fatigue and the constant neck pain (from the continued brain irritation/swelling) are difficult to cope with though and he spends much of the day in bed. However, at least he has a little company when doing so, Zoey loves to be at her Pop Pop's side:
