Just to let you know, dad seems to have slowed down some. We have been describing him as "quiet", the best I can do is now describe him as "quieter". His voice is very weak, as are his movements.
Pat and mom made the arrangements to get a hospital bed delivered tomorrow; while his sleeping has been okay he is definitely more comfortable sitting slightly upright in his chair in the living room. Being able to tilt the back of the hospital bed should give him the same comfort.
Pat and I are going to get a big screen TV for the bedroom tomorrow ... I guess mom and dad proved the experts right on how to have a happy marriage as they have never had one in their bedroom in all these years.
We are proceeding with Thanksgiving plans, dinner is going to be at Joe and Julie's this year; it's a miracle they can fit us in between soccer games. Joe's girls and boys teams both had big wins last weekend, meaning there will be more big games this coming weekend. We are hoping Mark and Maureen will be able to join us.
So that's that. We will keep you posted and thanks again for everyone's thoughts and prayers. Mom and dad have received dozens of cards and notes and letters; I can't tell you how much it means to them.
