Quick Dad Update

Things are looking up. Dad has been sitting up in a chair more often, and doing so willingly (They had him sitting up Saturday and Sunday, but he didn't like it). They are talking about bringing the physical therapist in to get him up and walking and are talking about moving him from ICU, possibly as soon as tomorrow. His blood pressure is a bit elevated but his heart rate is down. They stopped giving him the steroids that were helping to reduce the swelling, as they are not needed so much any more and were the cause of the elevated blood sugar levels. We know now that much of his anxiety is being caused by the fact that he is having trouble breathing through the trake. Hopefully this will come out soon!
