TUESDAY

we went to the hospital today, and i was so happy to see my dad. he is doing so well! it almost seems as if nothing had happened to him. all of the doctors are so impressed with how well he is doing. i bet he gets released sooner than later. he will still require a lot of rehab when he gets home, but that's o.k. considering what the alternatives could be. the other day i was going over grandma and grandpa's first nameswith ryan. i told him that grandma's first name is karen and that grandpa's first name is mark. he said, "no mommy! grandpa's first name is joe." i told him no it was mark and again he said it was joe. it then occurred to me that he must have overheard me telling everyone that my dad thought his name was joe. so, now grandpa's first name is sometimes mark and sometimes joe. kids are so funny! ya gotta love them! i know i sure do!
