Dad is sitting up in his chair. He waves at EVERYONE that passes by in the hallway. My mom asked him who he waved at and he said "He's just a guy that works here." He's very friendly. We asked him if he remembered that he had a contact lens in and he said no, but I told him he had one before like it which he remembered. He told me to look up Tokyo Shishatano. He said this is what his contact was. Then he changed it to Tokyo Kerashotow. Then he made a motion with his hand and said it flies. "Like geese." "The contact does." Today he likes the "death nurse." Everyone is really happy that he's doing so well. She said today that she is SO HAPPY for him. Guess what, mom cried at this. Ha. He said he might be a little confused. He gets ice chips today. He is watching the clock very closely for 10:00 so he can have more ice chips.

He is trying to talk to his brother Gabe on the phone. He is yelling, but it is still just a whisper. He's concerned because Gabe got some stitches removed this week. He keeps telling Gabe to pray for him and that he loves him.

He is doing so great! It is almost 10:00 I'm told...that means ice chips.

Go drink some water now because you can:) Love - Cejae

  3. Sounds like it is a good morning. I can just picture John leaning over in his chair to see who is going by that he can wave at next. Not a shy bone anywhere! That's one of the reasons I love him. Hope you get real food real soon, but until then, I'm sure you will appreciate the ice chips. When you get home, I may actually cook for you again. Love you all.

  4. Hi Cross fam,
    I am just tuning into the Cross blog...it sounds like such week! Oh wait, that would be 7 months in ICU time. Glad to hear that he is having a good day and doing so great! Just wanted you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all!

    Hang in there! Love ya.


    P.S. Cejae, you may remember my son Matt Carpenter. I believe that you and he were part of the trips as RLC ambassadors/chaperones. That takes you back a few years! :)
