Update on Dad--August 23, 2008 6:15PM

Dad seems to be doing a little bit better, his vital signs are improving. He has been weaned from the cardiac meds, and is able to maintain his blood pressure on his own. His blood oxygen levels are improving, and the Dr. is hopeful to take him off of the respirator in the next day or two.

He has been awake during visits, and even though he cannot talk because of the tube in his throat, he can communicate via head shakes and squeezing of his hand.

Hopefully all signs will continue to point in the positive direction over the next few days. I believe all of these positive thoughts and prayers are working, and our family appreciates them SO MUCH!

I will continue to update as changes occur.
