Quick update:
Just left Dad’s room, he had a busy night.
He was in bed but elevated to 45º and had the vent out.
He was talking and ate some jello while we were there.
He is starting to feel pain and has begun the deep breathing and coughing regimen.
This is very painful but one of the most important recovery aspects.
He remembers almost everyone who visited and what they talked about even though day and night are running together.
He is still losing some blood through the chest tubes and is receiving another unit of blood this morning.
They will get him up today, but he will be in ICU at least through today.
Visitors are restricted to family and only 2 at a time.
Pray that he can manage the pain and accomplish good work with the breathing and walking.
God is good!

We are following the blog with praise and thanksgiving; know we are praying for all of you, and love this family so much. We were present in that room with you, even though you could not see us. And we will come, if the need arises, but it seems as if God is giving you more time to be loved and to love all of us. Praise Him, and we pray for the breathing, the coughing, the blood loss and the walking. Get up; it is almost fishing time!!! Danny, Jane, Travis, and Jamie Leigh
