Aaaahhhh!! My favorite lily has finally bloomed! They are Mona Lisa, a type of stargazer. We planted these about 20 years ago, and I‘ve tried to visit every June to see them, no matter where I was living. #bloominglitsy @Eggs

Taking. Today. Off. Mom and I are beyond exhausted. Her best friend brought us lunch, and she took some of these callas. We have this x3 so plenty(!) to share.

Going to stare at the tv as much as possible. 💕💕 Thank you all so much for the love and caring!

My dad planted these petunias on Mother‘s Day, a couple of weeks before his stroke. They are thriving. #bloominglitsy @Eggs

My dad is making small gains. He can hold his head up longer. He has some expression on the left side of his face. His medical problems from the stroke are being corrected by his medical team. His headache seems better. We had a video chat lunch today. I miss him so much.

Cinfhen Awww, those flowers thriving are a sweet daily reminder of your dad. Glad to hear he‘s showing improvements ❤️ 5y
marleed Ohh beautiful flowers. I‘m so sorry you are moving through this. 5y
IamIamIam A beautiful sign of what's to come! Happy to hear that he's on the up and up! Baby steps but I'm glad you were able to have a video chat!! Hugs to you all! 5y

Sace I'm so happy to hear this. 5y
Megabooks Thank you all so much!! Dad is continuing to work hard. While many normal tasks are still out of reach, he is back calling us on his own! He had a common secondary condition post stroke that made this second week almost weaker than the first, but we are so proud of him for battling through. They have also found the right meds to help his headache. Mom and I continue to support each other and live in survival mode, but onward we walk. ⬇️⬇️ (edited) 5y
jmtrivera @Megabooks A strong fighting spirit and the right meds make a good start! I'm so glad for him and your fam. 5y
