Thank you everyone for your continued support for not only our dad, but also our mom. We all appreciate your thoughtful calls, emails and cards.
Our dad is doing better on an intellectual level. He still likes to have discussions about business. and he is starting to use his cell phone & read his emails.....and he has plenty.....a whole month of emails to decipher! He has been less irritable and has been alert for longer periods of time. Thankfully, he has also had some better sleep over the past few nights!
Unfortunately, he still cannot move his lower body much. His left leg is still somewhat completely flaccid and he has minimal movement of his right leg. He still has a very small appetite, if any, and he has been receiving feedings through a G-tube. We are thankful for his wonderful caretakers, who are overseeing his care and helping him with everything he needs.
What he needs most from everyone now is the reassurance that he may be able to walk again. Never say never.....we believe in the power of positivity and we want him to try his best to get better. So, keep those emails and calls coming.....he truly enjoys hearing from each of you & reading all the love and support from all his family & friends!
Dear Marvin and his wonderful family, fiona and I have been thinking about you ever since we heard this news of your challenges. We believe in positivity too and I know you're strong and will get through all of this. It is so wonderful that you have such a loving and supportive family all around you and I adore them all. We will be praying for you over the high holidays for a speedy recovery and back to your full strength. If you ever need a friend to talk to call me. Steve Markowitz
