Back on the Road to Recovery

Just saw Dad this morning for a quick visit. He was awake and eating breakfast - plastic ventilator - bad choice, dad. Go with the bagel next time the waitress comes around.

In any event, they were getting ready to take it out because he is able to do his own breathing, thank you very much.

I'm sure he will have a wonderful visit with mom today. She was very happy to get the news that he was getting off the breathing tube.

The plan is for him to be in ICU for a few days and then head back to rehab and get back to all that swallowing, sitting and standing.

Dad, you did great. Keep smiling and laughing. You are amazing and it is a blessing to all of us that you've still got your razor sharp wit. I hear you told your nurse she looked like Al Roker's sister. Seriously, Dad, you need to filter some thoughts. Unfortunately, we know just who you mean :)

Peace, Michelle
