Dad is continuing to progress well. He did not sleep well last night due to new pain, but he got some much needed rest during the day today. Yesterday, he walked 3 miles and today he reached his goal to walk 3 1/3 miles. He is amazing everyone at Duke. He is still having quite a bit of drainage from his chest tubes, so the last two could not be removed today. So far, we have no signs of infection or rejection. Please continue to pray for recovery and for his adjustment when he is discharged.
Also, please continue to pray for the other families at Duke. Most of them are not recovering as quickly as Daddy. Mom purchased a large bag of chocolate that she shared with the nursing staff in Dad's unit and with the folks in the ICU waiting room. Staff and family members were so grateful for Mom's thoughtfulness. Mom and I decided that chocolate is a universal language.
We cannot tell you how much we appreciate your concern and prayers.
