I have been here since about 11:00am, Dad was a little tired when I got here, but now he is really kickin’. After lunch he did a breathing treatment, Joel’s Parents stopped in on there way to McCook, and he got up for a walk, an entire lap around this floor. Right now Tim and Grammie are visiting again, dad is loving having these visitors. It keeps him awake too, which is good. He seems to be more “himself” when he is talking to people. I like to see him like that. Grammie said Kim and Tim are going to try and be here tomorrow, good news to dad. Hopefully one of us kids are around for that to get a photo of them all together.

Lunch wasn’t the best today either, but Del the Nurse said that it will take awhile for him to get his appetite back. Dad claims that nothing tastes really good. He does he the fruit every meal though.  

Dad is basically all un-hooked from the machines. He was taken off of the Insulin, Morphine, and whatever else he was hooked up to. Now he is able to get up and go to the bathroom also. The nurse says that maybe dad will be able to head home on Sunday, maybe in the afternoon. But, of course, we will keep you updated on that. They wouldn’t send him home early of course, but if he is well enough, being at home will be nice for him. And I think Oliver the cat knows something is up. He doesn’t seem to be himself.

Love, Lauren
