So glad to hear that Dad is doing so much better. You know he's on the road back when he wants to come home. And I know that this is a big load off your shoulders. Now just relax a bit. That's great that the Fluffs could visit. I think a lot of facilities allow that, and are finally realizing how beneficial it is to the patient. When I broke my hip and was in rehab, pets could visit too, but I didn't have the family bring the Fuzzbuttz in since I think they would have stressed when they had to go home and leave me there. There was a Golden that came to visit his person every day - you would see him walking down the hall with the morning paper in his mouth, delivering it to his person, and again at night too. It was so cute.
