getting more exercises

Hi folks,

Dennis is getting stronger each day and is tolerating more and more exercises. His therapists have increased his gym time by another hour (he was already in there for 2 hours per day). He is working hard and knows the harder he works the better chance of getting out of the hospital.

He has been loosing fluid again (yeah!) and is feeling much better.

Preparation are in the works for his arrival home. From grab bars to wheelchairs to new shoes, the therapists are looking at all of his needs. It will be a little time yet before he gets to go home but it's never too early to start planning.

I will be decreasing the #'s of times I post on the blog to twice a week. I will provide updates every Wednesdays and Sundays - likely in the evening.
