I am so sorry to hear that he has been ill, and hospitalized! Even though it was not covid, the hospitals can be a pretty intense experience for those needing to go. I hope it is something that will continue to get better for him. Slow is fine, as long as there is upward movement.

Is your dad on the West Coast also?

You are a good son, but, also remember to take good care of yourself. So often, the primary caregiver doesn't look after themselves.

Take good care of yourself (and your dad!) You are in my thoughts and of course, prayers.
