Update on my father

[draconis]

As of this evening, he is coming along well. ::knocks on wood::

We still haven't gotten an update from the lung specialist, but they're saying that if the level of blood-thinner in Dad's system reaches a certain point, they'll let him go home -- and he's pretty close to that point. Personally, I don't think there's any real chance that they'll let him go home tomorrow, no matter *what* level the blood-thinner is at, simply because his cardiologist won't be back to see him until Monday.

Thank you all for the prayers and well-wishes you've been sending. It surprised him a little bit when we told him that he was getting such things from at least a dozen people that he's never met, but I think that after the initial surprise wore off, he kinda liked it. ::S::

This is good news. Will continue to send healing vibes his way and relaxing, calming vibes to your step-mother.

Thanks! and yeah, she needs them!

I'm happy that he is doing better! Continued prayers for all of you. Tell him not to rush things, and take it easy.

Thank you! and yes, we've all been telling him that. Now if only we can get him to LISTEN! ::g::
