The original doctor who admitted my dad to the hospital two weeks ago is back on the case. To make a long story short, he has made some big changes to his treatment because he believes that he can get better. This is a far cry from where his condition was the beginning of this week. I love that this doctor is looking beyond dad's failed body to see his strong spirit. The doctor said that if he could get him moving again, he would be the happiest doctor in the hospital. So dad has begun to make some improvements and we will see where it will go.
Because things had stabilized so much, I decided to take the day and attend a Christmas party that we had been invited to in Vermont. All my friends from high school would be there and I was so looking forward to getting in the car and doing something festive and fun!
My friend has a home at the base of the mountain and it is just beautiful. She made a delicious meal of ham and everyone brought side dishes to share. After dinner she had hired a guitar player to entertain us. We sang Christmas carols, listened to his original songs, and he took our requests for cover songs from James Taylor, Simon and Garfunkel, Cat Stevens, and others. Every room had the view of the mountain as shown above.
We all had a wonderful time and it was great to finally feel some Christmas spirit and cheer!
