Still have him on antibiotic IV and hoping to avoid surgery
His A Fib is causing some issues but the cardio says it's safe enough for the moment.
He is stll very weak and it's difficult to see him so frail and helpless.
Allowed solid food as of today though he does not have much appetite.
He seems to be heading in the right direction but we have a ways to go yet.
Again, thank you for your prayers.
Prayers up.
Dang! Hadn't realized it's been 10 days since an update. It's been a blur.
Transferred Dad to Rehab on Sun. Nurses there were polar opposites of the angels in ICU. Seems like they couldn't care less.
Dad didn't remember the first week and a half but needed sleep which he wasn't getting with his room mates.
They were going to release him today but 06:00 yesterday he begged me to get him home.
The doctor said no.
I took the doctor to the window and pointed down.
I said " Do you see that helipad down there?"
He said "Yes".
I said "My Brother In Law is a pilot that knows Army pilots. He will land a helicopter there, I will smuggle Dad down in a laundry cart and we will be on TV".
They let him go!
Actually I think Dana, the occupational therapist made it happen.
Thank you Dana!
Long road to go yet but he's improving every day..
Thanks to everyone for your prayers!
Yeah they work!
