Wed, 8-11-10, Am Update

Dad slept well- took some asprin and applesauce.  Up this am w/ glasses and whiteboard and some talking- very sleepy yesterday pm- breathing is a lot of work but doing better this time around, nurses report good numbers (oxygen wise). Swallowing applesauce and pills again this am- no news on swallow test and future plans yet today.  Be warned he does now have his cell and charger and may begin to use it when he gets time off the mask.  Thanks again from all of us for good wishes, prayers, thoughts, stories-  Wll of us appreciate it so much.  We need to keep in mind what is important in our lives and MAKE time for it- not wait for tragedies to catch up and stay in touch.  - posted by Jeanette
