Hey everyone,
Hav and I have been sitting with dad for the last couple of days. I thought now would be a good time to post an update.
Dad has had a restful few days now. He seems to be calm since we all gathered on Sunday. Today his anxiety has acted up and we've had to cover the TV again and he's seeing things in the lights. We've been able to talk to him about his fears and have tried to convey to him that he's not going crazy, its just side effects from medications. He even made a joke about going nuts, so I think he understands some about what is happening.
The move to the rehab hospital is still on hold, apparently his case worker here went on vacation, which is causing a delay in the move. Its frustrating that other people's lives continue to move forward when we are waiting for little things like trading one hospital bed for another. We were told the move would happen today, but now we're being told tomorrow. I won't hold my breath until he's actually on the ambulance on his way across town.
So we are in a holding pattern. I've talked to dad some about the new hospital and he seemed excited about getting off the respirator. He has a new air mattress that is supposed to help his comfort but so far he doesn't seem to notice a difference.
As soon as he is on his way out the door, someone will post an update. Until next time, keep up the thoughts and prayers.

Your updates are so appreciated. I wish I could give back to you and your family some of what Dean has given to me in my years of knowing him at BVSD! He is an awesome man that has raised some very special kids too!! Thanks Frazier and Hav for your spirits!
