Sunday...Day 14

14th Day in ICU. Dad is on Oxygen-only, at 35% (doctors and nurses keep telling us ambient is 30%, even though text books say 21%...either way, this is awesome because it's almost an "Off" setting). He is a bit stronger and coordinated today, was even writing on a notepad! He is OBSESSED with getting some Orange Juice, even though they won't even let him have ice chips. LOL. I guess it's something he's craving. Is in good spirits. Hopefully they will do a swallow test on Monday morning, so that they can start giving him ice chips and maybe water. Hoping to wean him off of the O2 within two days or so as well. We're in another "plateau" of recovery, I suppose...but hopefully every day he is getting stronger. Will start physical therapy Monday too. He's working on flexing his leg muscles and attempting to move his feet and toes. Still isn't on blood thinners yet...don't know when they're going to resume, and don't understand the hold-up. Just trusting God will take care of him.
