Dad has had an eventful day as far is things being removed. They officially removed one of the two ports. The port used for dialysis, has been removed. The other port they use for various things like meds, to take blood, etc. so they said they will leave that one in for awhile still. I can't remember if it was mentioned before but he is completely off of oxygen, even the little thing at his nose. They have removed all catheters (sp?), although still unable to get out of bed, they felt this would be better for him and his body. I'll let you fill in the rest for yourselves there.
Mom asked that people please pray for him bowels and urination that they would regulate themselves now that the catheters are removed.
He was able to left his knees off the bed today also. He was able to do it a couple of inches and enough to see it under the covers. He was SO excited and enthusiastically talking about how it was something new today for him to be able to do.
Mom and Dad is up for visitors and it is just as much of a support for them now as it was before. Exciting part now is that people can actually see and talk to dad, and when he doses off it gives you a chance to talk to mom. Thanks for all the prayers and support!
