I suck at blogging

So, what do you think? I'm a terrible blogger, and I will not deny it. Blogging competency is not one of my new years goals, so don't anyone go holding their breath.

Happy New Years' to everyone. I admit that it is good to have 2008 in the history books. '08 certainly had some good aspects to it ,and some not so wonderful aspects to it.

Since my last posting, my dad has been in the Avalon Care Facility not far from his home in Bountiful. He was transfered there after being released from Ogden Regional over a month ago. While there, Dad has emproved for the most part, having gone thru a lot of speach and physical therapy. Dad lost his ability to swallow after his emergency surgery and part of the speach therapy has been in trying to get him to swallow again. He has had to eat thru a feeding tube that goes in thru his nose.
Today, Dad had a feeding tubing surgically implaced thru his abdomen and Mom is bringing him home, hopefully for good. Mom is going to have her hands full taking care of Dad, and she'll be assisted by an in home health specialist.

Anyway, I will try to be better on updating this blog, but as I stated previously, don't hold your breath.
