Long night to say the least. We were very much looking forward to a day of possibly moving to the step down unit, but definately another day of talking to our dad.
The doctors have said that he is responding well to all the meds and were pleased that he had told them something was wrong. Yay for being proactive about our health!
Yesterday was fantastic. He was joking and filling us in on his perspective of the situation. He is most definately a fighter, for it has been made clear to us that no average person makes the dramatic improvements that he has made over the last week. Yes we are sad that he is back on the ventilator, but I just talked to mom and the O2 is back down to 60%! yeah! (I have learned that the lower it is then the better!) We have had a big lesson in patience this week. Small steps stink, but they are steps none the less. :)
Continue sending in those prayers and as always the love has been well received.
lymi,
BP

That's good news, Barrett. Baby steps are good! You tell him I said to fight like he's on the basketball court backing in for a layup. He'll be out of there and back to work within a week!
