Thursday Evening

Around 3:30 this afternoon they put the filter in for dad. He has done well with this addition. The Doctor was really glad that they put it in when they did because they looked at his legs again after the filter was in and they found alot more clots and bigger clots. They felt that we got it in just in time. He hasn't been on the blood thinner today with everything that was being done and it was making the area around the trach blood more then what they wanted. They are hoping now that the filter is in place and his trach has had all day today to heal more that they can put him back on the blood thinner medicine tomorrow. They want to get him back on as soon as possible because of the additional clotting.

We are seeing more and more of his personality come out. I was able to spend alot of time with him at the 8pm visit and he laughed some and he shed some tears also out of the cornor of his eye. He seemed to recongize the few people he saw that were friends.

Please keep up the prayers, as we know you all are because we feel them and are seeing them answered daily. We are also praying that God would clear up his legs along with all the other previous prayers. Thank you so much!
