Small, yet encouraging, steps

Dad had a good night of sleep again, which really helps him tackle the day better.  According to his nurse, he did not have ANY apnea during the night at all.   That's a big relief to us all.  Hopefully that's gone for good.

In a surprising twist of events, the doctors now feel that the situation with the blood clots has stabilized somewhat without treatment, so they are going to try and get him up out of bed and into the chair today.  Not sure how that is going to go, but it's an encouraging sign.

He will be in ICU for a few more days, but Dad is definitely going in the right direction.

I'm not likely to make it up there today (and Dad does NOT know about the accident, so please don't tell him - he has enough going on to worry about that), as I'm enjoying my mattress of ice bags on my back.  At least it's a beautiful day in Omaha with a cool breeze.  A nice, relaxing day.
