One Week

Hello Everyone,
Dad has been in the hospital for one week and doctors say he's doing just great! He had a left side aneurism on Friday, May 20 at 6:00 AM and was responsive up until his surgery which doctor's placed a coil in his artery to stop the bleeding. The procedure took 3.5 hours and was very successful. He's been responsive to the nurse's commands and does have movement on both sides of his body. His right side is a little weaker than his left which is to be expected. But no paralysis.  They tried to remove his breathing tube yesterday. However, he had a little too much fluid in lungs and couldn't cough so they stuck the tube back in. Doctor's will attempt to remove the breathing tube Saturday. They've stopped all sedation medication and when not asleep, he open's his eyes, squeezes his hands, moves his feet and this morning he gave a thumbs up. We appreciate everyone's love, regards and prayers for it has helped all of us. Our mom is doing great. We're making sure she eats and exercises throughout the day. Keep on praying for a speedy recovery and we'll keep you posted.
