Update on Dad. He is recovering in CCU. He is alert, but sleepy. He was
confused as to what was happening because this was not in the initial
plan. He has had over 2 liters of fluid taken off his lungs. His blood
pressure is good. Oxygen is flowing throughout his body nicely. He is
still on the ventilator, but hopefully not for long. His surgeon was
saying how dad doesn't like to do anything by the book. But the positive
is, my mom didn't have to learn how to "nurse" the catheter. Thanks
for all the prayers and well wishes. Gretchen took her out to Paladar
for a drink and dinner before mom goes home and sleeps, and they were
both crying in the restaurant from all the love and support. We love you
all! You have all been amazing to our entire family.
Mom has been reading a book about a young man that went to West Point and
then on to Ranger School. While Sid was in surgery, mom was reading about
the ordeals of ranger school. He was saying not many make it through
from those that start and without any recycling through sections to
pass. Dad made it through without recycling! He is Army strong. We know
he will make it through this. We love all you that are holding him up in
prayer.
