We passed Uncle Mike in the elevators and he said that Pop had just finished his therapy and was tired. We took the kids up and he was visibly happy to see them. They all said "Hi Grandpa" and the twins told him "Merry Christmas" and then ran around his room probably making him crazy. When we left, he motioned for Preston to come over and he gave him a kiss and gave Jack and Kendy a kiss too. It was awesome. He was tired, so we let him sleep. I did ask him if he wanted us to bring up a Christmas tree and he said, "No". It seems, to Tahna's point, that he was trying to figure out where he was and maybe why. He kept staring at the board on the wall by his bed. I think he was trying to read it and wondering why it didn't make sense. That is just my perception.
I also told him that we are glad he didn't leave us and asked if he wanted to leave us and he shook his head "No".
It sure is good to see him brighten up every once in a while. Let's all pray that he can continue to be there and not get moved to long term care. Mom said that they aren't as aggressive with rehab and therapy in those places. We want him to work.
