Saturday Closeout

It is very late and I will be brief.

I want to thank Nancy and Jamie for giving me a break from the institutional grind of the hospital today. I wish we could give Mom and Dad a break.

Dad seems to be improving or is at least his body is starting to stabilize itself and less medication is being used to keep the vitals where they ought to be.
He is trying to eat more even though this triggers a coughing spell which is an anathema to him. He seems to handle ice cream the best.

He was out of bed 3 times today which is chore for both him and the staff, but is good for him. He watched a little football today but turned off the TV when the Hogs started to raise his BP.

We had some quiet time together late this evening and he gave me some advice as I pondered my role in tomorrows ordination service for Darcie Smith. He said that God is not impressed by man's rhetoric, but rather in his sincerity.
So Darcie, if my form is off, hopefully my content will be genuine.

I love my Dad.

God is good!
