A dad named Moose?

Who has a dad named Moose? A friend of ours came for a visit today, and Bob was confusing him with a childhood friend who lived on a farm and whose dad's name was Moose. Anyone want to decipher this story?

Bob is looking real good. He has lost 72 pounds! His roommate is another hospice patient. I keep telling t not to listen to conversations coming from the other side of the room. I reassure t that he's getting better each day, and he is going home. Bob has had three roommates; two who have passed away. Until now, I believe he has been oblivious to the previous two passing away.

Today's cognitive therapy included comprehension and short-term memory. Bob received 100%. He didn't pause with any of his responses. I also did some actvities where he had to pick a picture that matched a statement like, what provides shade...tree. Bob's response was slow, but he was 100% correct. I asked him to explain to me what shade was; this way I knew that he knew the definition. (I told you before...there is no such thing as "down-time" with this teacher (me).

A PRAYER FOR TODAY FROM JOEL OSTEEN
"Father in heaven, I choose to trust that You are working things out for my good. I choose to stand in faith, believing that my season of breakthrough is coming. Give me Your strength and peace as I patiently wait on You. In Jesus' Name. Amen."
