Another busy week has come and gone. Bob became a great-grandfather and Christina came to visit all in one week. It was a lot for Bob to deal with this week.
Saturday we had a cookout with the family and a few close friends. Fireworks ended the evening with a loud bang. It was a great time for everyone. The funniest moment of the evening was when Tina and I were sitting inside having some alone, quiet time together and we looked out the window and saw Bob getting up to come inside. He had four people all crowded around him like a cocoon helping him stand and walk to the house. Tina and I about busted a gut laughing at how he had everyone fooled. He was taking baby steps and slowly walking toward the house holding onto hands that were extended helping him walk.
Now granted, Tina and I both agree he needs assistance, but FOUR people to help him inside? He was eating up the attention. It was priceless. Tina looked at me, grinned, and said, “Oh Dee does he have them all fooled or what?” I totally agreed with her. Here is a guy who just this last week was hopping up into a very large truck with almost no assistance and now he had four people helping him walk across the yard. HA!
Give the great one a ring this week. We return to the neurologist on Thursday. I am looking forward to some good news from the doctor.
This blog is to keep family and friends updated on Bob Chipley's progress. He was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in August 2008. This information turned out to be wrong and on July 2, 2009 we found out he has Parkinson's disease.
