My Dad

Many of you have asked how my Dad is doing. The doctors took him off almost all of his medications, and at that point he began to improve greatly. His blood pressure went from 80/60 to normal, and he felt much better physically and emotionally, and was allowed to resume physical therapy.

A few days ago, he answered his telephone without assistance, and his voice sounds more like himself now. He is walking up to 500 feet a day, and has even joked with the staff by asking them when he can start jogging. His time in the rehab hospital is estimated at more than 50 more days, but he's motivated to get out sooner.

Thank you for your prayers and support. What a relief that he pulled through the surgery and its aftermath.
