Continuing to pray, Dawn, you can be sure!

And will remember him in the Rosary tonight...

Thank you again, everyone! Knowing how many people are praying for my father, gives me so much peace.

He was much better yesterday. His stats were all better, and though he does seem to have a small infection, his temp. was normal when we left last night. They started him on antibiotics, too.

He was much more "with it" and talked and joked with us (limited, because he was sedated, but he was definitely my dad again).

I'm holding my breath, because its been a whole other night again, and the previous night was when he went further downhill. I'm hoping the report this morning is status quo or better yet - improvement!

I will keep you posted. Thanks again for remembering us in your prayers! It means so much!!

One more update - and it's a GREAT one!

My Dad has made a complete turnaround! All his stats are stable (good even!), he is completely himself again (mental wise) and able to get up and around now! He was moved to a hospital room and my mum and I spent the day yesterday visiting with him and chatting. Today, dh brought my mum and my older boys in to visit. They can hardly wait to see him (and I am sure he, them ). He's doing so well he may come home Monday or Tuesday!!

THANK YOU all for your prayers; I know how much they helped and pulled him along. (Me too!)

p.s. I feel like I have been completely out of the loop - I have only been on the internet here and there. I am sorry I have been neglectful of so many threads AND my PM box is full! (Thanks for letting me know, Rebecca! ) I will be catching back up soon!
