Taking Care of Dad – Part 5

March 5, 2010  |  family

It’s funny that in times of great pain and discomfort we find a way to celebrate the little things, but in our days of normal living we find a way to be negative about little things.  There’s a good life lesson right there.

Today Dad went on 5 walks, sat up and did exercises, ate jello, and moved to a clear fluids diet.  Today we celebrated little things.  Who would have thought that taking a bite of jello and passing some gas were notable accomplishments. : )

I’m running night shift again and letting Mom sleep at the hotel.  Surprisingly enough, I’m pretty comfortable in this blue reclining hospital chair (another small celebration:)

Ask yourself this today/tonight….
Are you celebrating the little accomplishments?
