July 29

Sorry I haven't update in a few days. We have finally had a bit of summer and the kids are demanding pool, beach and boat time. I've still been up to the hospital every day to visit w/ my father. Haven't missed a day yet.

Monday they moved him to a private room which is nice for us, definitely more privacy but we're a little nervous that he isn't hooked up to any monitors anymore and doesn't have someone sitting in the room w/ him anymore, as he's still needing frequent suctioning. He still has a lot of junk in his lungs. Praying real hard for those to clear up so he can have that trach removed.

I think he's doing well! At this point he is fever and infection free. He really looks like himself again and he is finally getting some quality rest. Yesterday he was awake most of the day. The Doctors are saying that he still isn't doing anything purposeful and mention the phrase "vegetative state" more frequently than we care to hear. He may not do purposeful things for them but he really does for us. I'm keeping an open mind that things could go either way but I'm not ready to give up on him yet. It's still too soon. After all, it's only been 15 days since he came out of his "coma" and opened his eyes. Yesterday they did another EEG but we are awaiting the results. I am about to head up so I will update later.

Peace.Love.Pray!

My dad and his boy "Milo". Milo really misses his Daddy too. Milo and his sister Mitzi got up every morning, bright and early w/ my Dad and he fed them and played w/ them.
