Please Help Dad with His Recovery

Dad has communicated that he would love to have some visitors come and see him at the hospital. Since our post a few days ago, we have only had a couple people call to schedule a time to come and see him. I know that many of you are probably trying to wait so there is not a huge rush. Let me put your mind to rest, there has not been any rush. In fact, we are requesting that more people call to setup a visit.

Rachael is ready to receive your phone calls and schedule you to make a visit. Depending on the volume of calls, your visit may be several days from the day you call. However, we do not mind scheduling you in advance. In fact, we are asking you to come visit because this is a way you can help Dad in his recovery.

We would like to ask for your help in Dad’s recovery in the following ways:

1.) So many of you have been such prayer warriors for our family during this time. We have been asked over and over again how your can help. Coming for a short visit would be helpful at this time. The therapists want Dad to have visitors for this next step in recovery and transition back into “real life”. It will be easier for him to greet you a few at a time rather than be bombarded the first time he comes to church or another social event.

2.) The time slot we set up for Dad was from 3-5pm. I know this can create a problem for many of you with work schedules. So Dad asked if we could let you know he will also receive visitors from 6-8pm. We are not setting up very many visits each day, but hopefully the extended times will help fit your schedule better.

3.) Don’t tell yourself He doesn’t want to see you…because he DOES want to see YOU. (And if he doesn’t it is only 15 minutes, so for therapy sake he can deal with it anyways)   :)

4.) Not only is this therapy, Dad really wants to see people. So what are you waiting for? If you want to see him give Rachael a call!

We appreciate all you have done for us during this time! Rachael’s number is 405-517-2099 and her email is Rachael@characterfocus.com. You can also get in touch with her through facebook.

Dad looks forward to seeing you soon! Thanks for serving our family by helping with this next stage of therapy and recovery.
