An update for everyone on Dad's condition: He is awake, alert, and even joking a bit. The ventilator has been removed. Dr. Corry said the major concern now is the onset of pneumonia. When someone is split wide open like that, he said that is what we need to watch for. He could not detect any leakage, so that is great. It was a real effort for Dad to talk this morning, so when you go to visit, keep it short. The ICU rules are only 2 people at a time in his room, and they kick everyone out between 5 and 7:30 a.m. and p.m. He is doing amazingly well! Thanks for everyone's prayers.
Love,
Kay
