A really quick post (I'm at work). Just wanted to let you know that Dad got home from the hospital yesterday. Mom picked him up after work. It was her birthday too. He was doing really well last night, he was talkative, telling a story even and a joke or two. They are now giving him Prednisone and that seems to help. He'll take that for a couple weeks. He was in good spirits this morning too, although he got up to wake me, he thought I over slept and I wish he hadn't gotten up because he got winded and needed help getting back in bed.

Mr.Carrasco, our neighbor, has been visiting him daily. That's really nice of him. Junior is out of the picture from now on....we never could depend on him.
