Some good news — Vieje Piauwasdy

We had a great hospital visit today. My father in-law had his weekly CT scan done and everything is very positive. The bleeding in the brain is subsiding and all the other tests run are positive as well.

He is now sitting up and both speaking and moving well. He starts physiotherapy on Monday and hopefully will regain a lot of his strength in the next week or so. The doctor said that after next Friday’s CT scan, we may be in a position to have him fly home.

Nothing is guaranteed of course and there is a chance that he has a set back. But if you told me a week and a half ago that we’d be in this position, I’d 100% take it. We had initially planned to be here all of November. Now we’re looking good to get him home by Thanksgiving. I am obviously ecstatic.

I’m going to try to enjoy the next week and half here as much as possible. We may take a quick trip to Split next week as it’s only an hour away. I look forward to getting home, but in the meantime, I hope to live like a local here in the Old Town Zadar.
