Better News!

For the first time in a week, there's actually GOOD news to report!

I just got off the phone with Robin and dad is more coherent than he's been in days.  They have him strapped down, so he won't mess up the tube down his throat, but, if a family member is in the room, he can have the straps taken off.  He's been writing notes on a pad of paper today, and seems to be doing better...

Dr Koslo, the vascular surgeon, is happy.
Dr, Chuktai, the heart specialist, is happy.
The kidney doctor is happy.
The infectious disease doctor is happy (he has a urinary tract infection).

Now we wait a couple of days to see how things progress.

It's still a LONG road ahead, but at least there's some GOOD news, for a change.  Keep those prayers and happy thoughts coming!
