Lung Lung

Today Dad ran another 10 mile marathon! Yep, the P.T. told us that one session of his physical therapy is equivalent to us running 10 miles. Shocking really. Most people have to work up to that but Daddy is working hard like a champ to do what the P.T. is teaching him. I always seem to get to his room just after they are finished and he is always bushwhacked. 

Dad has been hooked back up to a type of ventilator through his trach because his right lung has decided to partially collapse too now. I'm no nurse but perhaps it is because of the pneumonia? Nevertheless, his lungs need our prayers right now. 

Dad was overjoyed (in his own special way) when I (along with Amberlie) reported to his bedside after returning from Christian's basketball game this afternoon. As we told him who went and the happenings of the game his eyebrows were bouncing to and fro and he was squeezing my hand repeatedly. He was so happy to hear that Christian scored 10 pts. in the game! Dad has always supported ALL of Christians games and anything else he has been interested in. I know it meant a lot for us kids to gather together in support of Christian when he couldn't. Christian had a great idea for us to video tape it next week and bring it for Dad to watch at the hospital. It's a done deal!
