ICU later

The title says it all. Dad was moved out of the ICU last night and into a luxury suite at Riverside. =) Maybe a slight exaggeration. But progress none the less.



Whether it was the move or some other factors I am not sure, Dad's spirits were improved today. This is great to see for those close to him, but not a surprise to any of us. Some other good news was that Dad and Missy met briefly with the surgeon and he said Dad would definitely walk again. It is just a matter of time for him to get his energy and strength back.



This is the stage of the game we all wanted to get to after the surgery...the recovery. It was very difficult for a while to continually get bad news, followed by an excruciating period of waiting. Now we are getting to the action part of this story. It is uplifting for us because we all feel like we
can do something. We can help. Which reminds me...thank you for all your help!






Just a little pic here of Dad opening a Christmas present from his kids the winter after the Sox won the series!
