Hello everyone. Dad was very alert today. He would answer all the questions that the doctor would ask and he seams to be understanding everything that is going on. He was supposed to be getting the tracheotomy today but surgery was very busy so he should get it tomorrow. He is very frustrated not being able to talk to us and I think it is hurting a little so we cant wait till he gets the trachea. Walt and Steve Johanson stopped by today and dad seamed really happy. He was smiling a lot so I think it makes him feel better that people visit him. He still has a little fever but they are not finding any new infections so it could just be a little left over. He is still on dialysis and will stay on it till they are sure that his kidneys are fully functioning. They pulled liquid from his lung yesterday and they will do another cat scan to make sure it does not come back, if it does they have to put a tube in his side to keep draining it. All seams a little better today and lets hope it stays that way. Thank you for reading this and continue to pray.
