Dad had a big day today!! He called to wish grandma a happy mothers day and she was thrilled. He really wanted to get her a present but I told him a call was the perfect gift. Then he decided to call a bunch of other people. It was great to here the surprise in every ones voice when he talked. Dad spent most of the weekend doing his exercises. He really wants to get stronger and get out of the bed. The doctor seems to think he can get off the vent completely very soon. It would be so great if he could get off that. I spent a lot of time telling dad everything that has been going on with him the last two months. He is shocked at how sick he got and even more shocked that he was able to survive it all. It has kind of become a joke. He says "at least I'm talking from the right side of the dirt"!! Its so great to have him back and he is really working hard to get better. Thank you all for your support and prayers, its amazing how well it works.
