4 Dec 2009 Visit Dad

Ashling, me and my parents visited Dad this afternoon. He does looks well. He is friendly and asking Ashling the questions about BYU. He said he felt better. He keep forget the meal time...
He showed me all the pictures in his apartment. I saw little frame on the top of kitchen cabinet. I could not see who are they. He told me "it is my family, this is my wife, this is...the boy died, i can't remember his name (I told him his name is Gary)".
I brought some fruits for him. He likes them. I told him we will pick him up sometime during the Christmas time for BBQ.
Yes, he looks happier. Thanks for all your guys taking care of a lot of things of him.

Last Week- Nov 30-Dec 4 2009

We are coming upon the end of the first week of Dad's new home! He seems to have adjusted pretty well. He has been friendly to the other inhabitants and seems to already have made some friends. Den and I visited him everyday until we left for St. George on Friday. I know Treavor, Sara and Owen visited him on Friday. I believe Lena and Ashling visited him on Saturday. I think Tristen and Tara were going to stop by while I was gone, as well. Thursday, I took him to my home while I decorated my Christmas tree. He watched "It's a Wonderful Life" and balled all the way through it. (my favorite movie too!) He had lunch at my house. We shopped at Target for a few things, Milk of Magnesia, even though he has tons already. Then he was ready for me to take him home.
For everyone's information, Sheryl and I organized all his meds into labeled bins in his front closet so he knows what he has.
I think he was a little nervous about me going to St. George. He kept asking me over and over again, when I would be returning from St. George.
