Going home tomorrow!

Dad was able to get his feeding tube out today. At 5:00 this morning to be exact. I think he thought he would be able to talk better without it in so when it was taken out and nothing changed he was a bit discouraged. However he is still very excited that he doesn't have it anymore. And because of that he can go home TOMORROW!!
Today Dad has a lot of therapy. In each of his therapy sessions they are going to show him what he can do at home to keep on exercising. They are going to be getting him enrolled in therapy classes in Bountiful so Mom and Dad won't have to drive so far for daily therapy. The Dr.s are going to have a meeting today at 12:00 and then will meet with Mom and Dad so I will let everyone know what is said at that meeting.
Dad's Dr told him that with all of therapy he is doing and how well he is improving he should be able to drive again in about 30-40 days. Exciting!!!.....or Scary?? No, I think he will do great and of course the Dr.s wouldn't let him drive if he wasn't ready.
I think the speech therapy is going to be the hardest and longest lasting. But he will get through it, look how far he's come already!
