Dad is breathing on his own, and is able to communicate today--great news! Of course, he is very fatigued, as his body has been really put through a lot. But he's been smiling and laughing when he can.
He was able to sit up directly for a few minutes today, and we're looking for more progress tomorrow. The doctor's hope that he'll be able to sit and walk in a day or two, which would be most excellent. For now, he'll continue to sleep and gather is strength for tomorrow.
I was able to share with him your notes, messages and health-felt concern. Please keep him in your thoughts and check back tomorrow for more updates.
We're so thankful that he has no complications, that he looks healthy and that he still has his sense of humor: I asked, "Would you like to do the hokey-pokey?" he responded, "no, too many wires!"

Hi Adam,
ReplyDeleteplease let your dad know that I shared this blog in my office and everybody is updated and wishing him well. I am glad there were no complications and it went smoothly. I will call earliest some time next week or whenever he feels like he can take calls. So far, all the best, Scott!
