Dick had a good day. He had a bit of coughing which was difficult with the intabation tube but it aggravated him enough to make him sit up in bed unexpectedly. This was actually a very good sign. He was immediately given medication to calm him down and put him back under again as to not do harm, but everyone was excited for this small moment. It didn't seem like a good thing at the time but the doctor's say it shows he is reacting. We will take any small step.
I just talked to Kathy to get an up date on Dick's condition. After filling us in she gave me this web page, it's fantastic to be able to get a daily update without bothering anyone. I just finished reading everything to Mom (Aunt Dot). We have been so concerned and worried & feeling so helpless, being so far away. This blog helps! It goes without saying that we have been praying for his full recovery. The latest news sounds so very hopeful. Really wish we could come back down there, but like so many others, jobs prevent that. We'll keep in touch & keep praying via this web site. Love, Jan & Aunt Dot
