Off the vent!

Happy tears! Dad was strong enough to come off the vent this morning! He has lost his voice, so is whispering alot. Here comes the onery Dad we have missed for all these days!! He is very mentally aware despite being on morphine for back pain. Today is an AWESOME DAY!!

Thank you all for your love and continued prayers!!Hoping we only move forward from here! Onery or not, we are ready!

Just wanted to let you know Kelly that I know your dad is probably in a bad place mentally right now. He doesn't see the light at the end...and maybe it will be awhile before he does. BUT I wanted you to know, my father in law and his close friend both had surgeries with long painful recoveries, where they were extreamly depressed and didn't want to keep going. But here they are, years later...healthy...happy...living. They just didn't see it in the moment. It is going to be a lot of pushing and motivating with your father. But god willing, with you by his side, he can do it. I pray he keeps going in the right direction, and every day gets a bit better. Love ya!
