**Update from Scott**
On Sunday, Kelly and I took Zane up to Oelwein to see his grandpa.
It was Zane's longest road trip and we were hopeful that it would go well. Taking Zane to Chicago seemed like too long a trip for him, and now that Jim is back in Iowa we decided to give it a go.
Kelly's mom came with us to help in the event Zane decided he didn't like being there.
Dad liked seeing Zane. We sat him up in the bed as far as he could tolerate and he just watched Zane play for quite a while. Zane was a bit intimidated by all of the medical equipment and didn't want to get too close, but he did say goodbye to grandpa as we were leaving.
Dad was awake and alert but was having shoulder pain. The staff at the home isn't doing a very good job addressing his comfort needs. They need to be supporting his shoulders better by supporting his elbows. I think PT could also be helping out there, but I'm not sure if they are.
As Liza mentioned in her last post, dad is depressed and seems to be not in the same positive spirits he was in a few months ago.
Hopefully we'll have some improvements soon to give him encouragement to continue the fight towards recovery.
