Thursday 5 PM Visit

I am getting report via phone because of the limited number of visitors allowed. My siblings will be leaving to go back to central Arkansas this evening so I will wait for the 8:30 PM visit period.

Shortly after getting settled back into the ICU, Dad's BP was a little low and he required 2 units of blood. I have been assured that this is normal and is not alarming.

When Mom and Nancy got to see him, his eyes were open and he responded to them by raising his hand when they spoke to him. He has made progress in breathing on his own and assisting the ventilator in doing so. The goal is to get the vent out as soon as possible and perhaps sit up in a chair.

Mom is going home for the evening and I will visit at 8:30 PM.

God is good!
