Dad is talking with us! He is laughing and totally aware of his surroundings. He's on an anti-seizure medication, which makes him a bit loopy and slightly confused here and there. But overall the guy is in the midst of some very smooth sailing. I am going to make this short because I want to get up and spend time with him.
Isn't the brain fascinating? His left side is definitely affected. He knows what he wants to say but the words don't always come out right.
medicines = modicine
helicopter = holly copter
The list goes on and on but we can figure out what he's trying to say, and we all laugh about it. Of course those of you who really know Bill know that perhaps this has been affecting him for some time! The guy is no English major. :) But he will still try to come fix your car if you ask him tomorrow. He's been talking about various jobs he's recently done for us -- remodeling Heather's kitchen and putting doors on my office.
This is tough. But seeing him smiling, sitting up and being able to hug him ... A spoonful of sugar helps the modicine go down.

Never count Bill out. He's the toughest you know what I've ever run across. And he passed that toughness along to you and Heather, too. Keep up the spirit. There are so many people sending you positive energy and thoughts, you just don't know. Today at work I had people from everyone in the office, to people you've never met, telling me to send you good vibes. The phone at home has been ringing off the hook and I feel like I spend the whole day answering e-mails and Facebook messages from people wanting to know what they can do to help. You are not alone in this.
