Surprise visit

Mom and Dad made an unplanned visit to my house on Sunday afternoon. Unplanned, but certainly welcome. While we sat and talked, my girls were able to catch them up-to-date on all of their girl scout weekend stories. My youngest had been unavailable to help on Saturday, so she provided us all with entertaining stories.

Most significant during this trip was the absence of Dad's wheelchair. He walked from the car to the living room. Later during their stay he walked from the living room to the kitchen for a quick dinner. He isn't ready for the 100M hurdles, but he's really doing quite well. Balance and lifting his right foot higher are still his biggest obstacles, but he's proceeding very nicely. He is using a 4-footed cane and a little help from one of us, but he can move at a slow pace without too much assistance.

We kept them longer than they intended, but I understand they were still able to pay a visit to my sister after leaving our house.
