God bless him. Dr. Smithson is using words like “happy” and “progress” and “getting better.” We like these words. It helps to know that changes in responsiveness between morning and evening are part of a wave – we keep reminding each other of that.
The infection is still present – they’ve got the cooling blankets on. They’re saying they know what the bacteria is and which antibiotic will take care of it, but they still don’t know the source.
We went to church and offered many, many prayers of thanksgiving. People are so kind; they want to know how Dad's doing, and they also ask how we're doing. Are we eating, sleeping, resting? I'm grateful that our responses to all questions is "Yes." We are blessed to have three immediate family households to offer beds, Mom and Dad's, Amie's, and David's. Being related to the person who's been in the shower before me is actually a comfort.
Laura Beth and Rick, and Caitlin and Tab all left today. I know it’s hard for them to leave while Dad is still in ICU, but we also know Dad (and Mom) are in for a long haul.
