THIS MAY BE THE ONLY POST TODAY (we are amazed at how phone calls pour in when we don't update at "the usual times"...thanks for all your care, concern, and faithfulness)
Saw Dad at the 6am visit, and he was wide awake. Looked great, as they had shaved him. He was happily sucking on the small sponge-straw they've given him, even though he hasn't had a swallow-evaluation done (should do it today). He will be SOOOO happy when they give him orange juice...never seen him so obsessed with something. LOL. Was in good spirits, and said his shoulder wasn't hurting, even though he was still shivering occasionally. He asked about family members, and what the date was. Couldn't believe it was 12/10, as he doesn't really remember anything over the last 3 weeks. He said he wasn't bored, as there is a lot of movement and activity in the ICU around him...he is one of six beds in his "pod" and is located next to the main walkway in the ICU, so sees a lot of doctors and nurses walking by. Asked about some of the other patients, but I didn't know anything. He recognized his Mechanics doctor, and playfully told me to harrass him as he knows the doctor has a good sense of humor.
If anything significant happens, we'll post a short update.
