Good News

We just had a couple visits with my dad. He's off the vent! Praise the Lord!! He's breathing all on his own and he's sitting up and talking. He says his pain isn't too bad. They took him off the Fentanyl drip and put him on a PCA pump with Morphine so he can give himself doses. We talked to the doctor and he says he's doing well. They'll have him up today and sitting in a chair. Sunday they're going to have him walk around the ICU and he'll hopefully be on the floor by Monday or Tuesday. Thank you for your prayers!

Kelly, Thank you so much for keeping us informed. Of course we would have hoped for better news, but I know God is with you and he will see you all through this. We are praying for clean lymph nodes and effective easy time of chemo.
We love you so much. Linda & Larry
