Dads progress is slow but successful! They are taking him completely off the vent for a few hours each day and he is doing really well. He has also had a lot of exercises each day. They work his arms and legs pretty hard. All this work makes him really tired so he does sleep a lot. But at least he is trying as hard as he can. Standing has not been so successful. His blood pressure drops dramatically so they don't want to risk any more damage. It really makes him sick when this happens. There are a few tricks they can try so that they can avoid any medication, she will try them tomorrow. Dad loves all they cards he is receiving it gives him something to do. He hates watching TV all day so the cards help. He is also really focused on getting his finances in order so I think we will work on that later this week. His mind is doing great, its like nothing ever happened. The nurse thinks that if dad is feeling better tomorrow they might wheel him outside to enjoy some fresh air. He seems pretty excited. All of dads progress is remarkable and I am so thankful that you all stuck with us and continue to pray. Thank you so much.
