Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers. Yesterday my mother was moved from the hospital to a convalescent center, where she will be for a couple of weeks before she can come home. I am back home and headed back to work tonight. Mom is on the mend and Dad is a lot less distraught, and has a couple of projects to distract him in the form of some songs we are trying to learn to play together in parts.
While I played a lot with Dad during this, I didn’t do much in the way of practice so now I can pick my routine back up and keep plugging away at new skills. New skills were definitely secondary to helping Dad through this, and playing familiar songs a lot was a good salve for him.
