Dad seems to be improving a little bit every day. When we saw him today the nurse said he had been awake most of the day, and he was awake the entire time we were there to visit. The nurse mentioned that he was breathing better, and based on the results of some blood gas tests they might be able to take him off of the respirator today or maybe tomorrow. He wants the tube out and made that pretty clear, even though he is unable to talk. The nurse has him laying on his side, as he has a bedsore that they want to keep the pressure off of.
We continue to pray that Dad will be out of the CVICU in the next day or two, but will probably be in the hospital for a while. We appreciate your continued positive thoughts, prayer and support.
May God's will be done.

Stef,
This is your long lost cousin, Leslie. Aunt Darla sent us an email this morning letting us know your Dad was in the hospital. I am so sorry. You guys sure have had your trials this year. I will keep him as well as you guys in my prayers. I thoroughly enjoyed looking through your blog and getting to know your kids and husband a little bit. Some of those pictures of you guys when you were younger with your mom sure bring back memories. That's exactly how I remember all of you. I will be coming to Irvine probably Oct or Nov some time and look forward to maybe visiting with you then. Give your dad a hug and kiss from us here in TX and let him know our prayers are with him for a speedy recovery. Take Care,
Leslie
