My dad is now just on oxygen through his nose. I think we all knew that he would wake up in time for April Fool's Day.
When a doctor came in to give my dad an idea of his treatment plan (to go down to a regular room tomorrow then to a rehab facility and then home for OT/PT) . . . my dad suggested he just go straight to rehab and jokingly asked for a second opinion.
After finding out that his wedding ring was cut off due to swelling he asked to borrow my brother-in-law Mark's. After trying it on but it being too small he turns to Mark and says "if it doesn't fit we must acquit".
When his good friend Hal walked into the room my dad smiles at him and says "do I look handsome?!"
I now feel like I can take a deep breath. Thank you, Jesus.

ReplyDeleteAs I read this bit of good news, your dad SPEAKING and joking with those he loves, I remember what I wrote when your counter hit 10,000- and how we would be celebrating with you again when it hit 20,000- and it hit that mark for your post about him talking. How very sweet indeed.
