It's a good Friday...

Hello all you Bright Wingers--thanks for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers. Last night Dad was taken to ICU where we got to see him around 9:30pm or so. He was awake, although heavily sedated, but he waved his hand at us to let us know he was there with us. Charles and I stayed at the hospital last night, and periodically would check on him. We made sure he had some music playing in his room. This morning around 6:30 we had a brief pantomime session where he wanted the music turned up. After a bit of motioning and misunderstanding of what the motioning was, Charles realized he wanted the music turned up higher. More exciting at this time was that he was almost completely breathing on his own, and when Mom, Jeni and Dani showed up after 8am, he had the tubes out and was able to talk to them. He's lucid, and comfortable. We're guarding him like hawks, but luckily the nurses are doing a great job. More later! Posted by Martin at August 20, 2004 10:31 AM
