Hello! Dad is doing good today! He is awake and talking. He wants to make sure I am going to the grocery store and that we did not get rid of the house. Poor dad, he is trying so hard. Dave and I looked at long term facilities for extended care today. We picked a really nice one right across the street from the hospital. He is not ready to leave the ICU yet but we will have to move at some point soon. It is a positive sign that he is getting better. He is not out of the woods yet but he is almost there. He is getting more food through the tube and I think it is making him stronger. We are going to start practicing writing on a white board so he can get his message across better. Hopefully they will try to put him in a chair to see how his blood pressure handles it. Thank you so much for your support and prayers, we are doing great!!
