Well, since you have all been checking through out the day and I'm finally blogging - you can probably guess that yesterday at U of M Hospital was rough. It's just so hard to see mom and dad struggle through this.

Yesterday and again today, dad has been sedated. Yesterday morning mom told him we would be coming, but while we were there he couldn't wake up. That's okay - but very hard to see him. Rachael and I did fall apart a little. At first she was good - until she took a deep breath! Nate also saw grandpa. Ben stayed in the family room. I don't know how we would be able to explain what he sees with his limited ability to have a conversation.

The results from the CT Scan came back clear (that was of his abdomen & pelvis). Clear is good - so his pain is just the aches and uncomfortableness that comes from three and a half weeks in bed - no additional infection. This morning they did the Nerve Biopsy. There won't be any results on that until the end of the week. So for this week they will just be doing maintenance on dad. Keeping him as comfortable and pain free as possible.

Today Pastor Cal was with mom today. When I talked to her there were having lunch in the cafeteria.

Dad is still unable to communicate well. Pray for his frustration and for mom to have unlimited patience with him. The nurses continue to be gracious and helpful! The folks have a long way to go - please keep them in your thoughts and prayers!!!!
