Recovery Day 2 - Update (4/20)

Dad had a restless night so he was very exhausted today. He's a bit confused about where he is, what he's doing here, and who the nurses are (but not who his kids are!).

He took his first steps out of bed and into a reclining chair, which is great progress! Tomorrow he's looking forward to moving from the ICU to his own room, where he'll be more independent and comfortable. His brother (Craig) and sister-in-law (Cathie) will be here tomorrow morning, and will keep him company through the weekend.

Allie and I will be taking off in a moment to return back to Rochester, but leaving a big metaphysical chunk of ourselves here with Dad so he can get through the night alright!

Scott still does not have a room number, mailing address or phone number as yet, but I will make sure to publish this information when I receive it. Thank you for keeping him in your thoughts, he brightens up each time I tell him of your messages and good words.

  1. We're so glad all has gone well. Our hearts have been in Pittsburgh right along with all three of you this week. We have a little something we want to mail there to Scott as soon as he has an address. (Adam, if you want to send the address directly, you can email us at andg@rochester.rr.com or corrado_christine@yahoo.com).

    Love,
