hey there say...

well, talked to my mom, but she was just leaving the house to visit my other brother walter, and his child...,

so THEN my youngest brother howard, filled me in...
he has a way of being very direct when he is hungry and tired, so didn't get much conversation, but here what he said, near a possible:

"he's looking better than before..."

(mom chips in, as she is leaving)--"well, he's been sedated, and of course, he is more awake now, so that's why... "

"well, he's recovering, it takes time..."

then back to me, he says:
"to put it this way, dad's just survived,
surgery...
blood poisoning (that was his way of saying sepsis)
pneumonia...
flu...
he's an 83 year old man (he forgot daddy just turned 84) ;)
and is still here...
and we didn't know he would...

so i'm happy just to see him everyday..."

well, that's my younger brother, all right, ;)

well, also, just before she left with walter, my mom did say,
he the hospital folks had him to sit up, though he did not seem too
happy or comfortable about it, she added...

and usually, it seems he is not so good before the daily dialysis, but later, when she comes to see him, he looks more alert...

he still can't talk yet, but tries, so it upsetting to him...
too weak to write anything, too...

so, keep praying, folks, he's come so far now...

thank you... wow, god's grace, and chapman tenacity... and hospital
folks doing their best...
;)

now i can send him another few cards, :)

ooops, edit:
new thanks to the last posters,
johntp, seagoat, ron, steve's sister, and mouse...

hey there say...

just heard from mom's son in law:

mom had it wrong-understanding-of-words--daddy is NOT off the ventilator yet... getting
closer, but not yet... does have the trech, though...
but is still not yet able to do all the breathing alone...

also, the dialysis has been helping me, since the sepsis had messed
up the kidneys at that time... hope they are okay now, soon?????

but, i just heard that as tired and weak as he is all day, by the evening,
he can and has smiled, :) (not sure how much, but i nearly cried about that, well, i did) :)

keep hopes and prayers, as, if nothing else goes wrong, and the breathing gets stronger for on his own--perhaps 2-3 weeks, he may get to go home????

all we can do is wait and pray and keeping hopes and good wishes...

thank you again, for letting me share and chipping in with
prayers, hopes and all...
thank you... i think we are all feeling a large step better now...
:) but not letting our guard down, as to being strong...
