We all went to visit my dad yesterday, and he's completely "back," mentally speaking. He doesn't remember Sunday-Friday but seems to have woken up Saturday morning. He also got to have some broth and juice, which probably tasted like a steak dinner to someone who hasn't eaten in 6 days. All tubes are out with the exception of a little extra oxygen--it's tough for him to breathe deeply with all the abdominal pain. He got up and walked around a bit and was laughing as we told him some of the crazy things he said. He held Marlee and got a kiss, the best medicine! We were all a bit emotional...it's so great to have him back! Doctors say he'll be home soon, but he's on bed and tummy rest for a few weeks. That means the real steak dinner will have to wait :)
Thanks again and again for the prayers.
