update:

Mom called and Dad is up and at 'em. The doctor said that he has done better at the breathing part than any other patient he has ever had. Everything is going very well.

It's because Dad's lungs are so good. Talking all the time.

Tonight I will be going down and seeing them again. Miranda and the children will stay home.

He will probably be released from ICU today unless they don't have a room for him.
