Peeking Through the Key Hole...

This is Hamilton Place at The Pines at Whiting. It's the convalescent center of the campus. We thought you'd all be interested in seeing the place from the inside out, so for those who can't get to Whiting, here it is. The dining room is designed to make you feel like you're home, so that when you're released, you'll be better adapted to your home environment. The hallway is so nice, you feel like you're home! If you look aaallllll the way down the hall, you'll see a door, and if you go through that door, turn left and you'll find  Mom & Dad's apartment just a few doors down on the left. As for the third photo, ... well.... sometimes a king just likes to stay in his room and hold court!

We wanted to share with you some good news that we got this morning from the social worker at Hamilton Place: as for Dad's physical infirmities, they anticipate a full recovery, and he should be as healthy and strong as he was before this whole journey began. He's responding well to the physical therapy, and he's cooperating nicely with the nurses. Unfortunately, the Altzheimer's will still run it's course, and the best we can do is pray and work with doctors who will help put off the more advanced stages as long as possible. You can pray for us about that.

We anticipate a visit this weekend, so we hope to have more good news for you. Thanks for checking back - and for the loving comments some of you have posted. It's at times like this that The Family (of God) comes together and upholds each other. Thank you for your cares and prayers!

'til we meet again, God be with you and keep you strong and healthy, y'hear?!
