Dad is still sitting in his chair. He's funny. He is looking more exhausted and thinks he might want to lay down soon. But, he has been sitting for around 3 hours now. He has improved so much just overnight. He remembers most things pre-surgery but is still a little confused. Bucky and Melody have been here with us for awhile and Tim and Jason are still here. He still has the tube that suctions from his stomach and his stomach is still swollen. They are still staying on top of this and monitoring his stomach. He wanted me to tell Delores not to let Van have surgery until he gets home. Somehow I don't think Van is waiting for the go ahead from dad, but he is thinking about others. He was very excited to hear that Gabby Lemke got to come home and when he learned that she is doing well. I think he is a little upset with his feeding tube, but he is right on top of our conversations. He was laughing at some of Tim's stories about building his house. Anyway, as always, we are thankful for all of you and are so happy to have good news to report.
Love,
The Fam

John,
ReplyDeleteVan is going to wait if you will promise to be well enough to go with him.
I am so relieved that John seems much better. I have been keeping up by Buster's e-mails, but I'm glad to find this blog. I wish I weren't so far away. I have felt very helpless as I've read your updates. But tell everyone that I went to an Evensong service in Canterbury Cathedral and lit a candle for John.
