It's amazing how much clean hair and a fresh shave makes a world of difference after a week without it. I visited Dad yesterday, and then rushed off to work. (Sorry I didn't get a chance to update you). He went for a walk, ate lunch, sat up for a massage, and laughed harder than I've heard in quite some time. For the first time, I really saw a glimpse of my Daddy since his surgery last week.
After I left, they drained the fluid from his lungs. Immediately, he felt relieved and able to breath more freely. I think such quick, positive results helped his spirits too.
Also, the doctors feel it is too early to put in a pace maker. As of now, they regulate his heart beat and blood pressure with medicine. In a way, this answered my prayer. I asked God for a delay or uncertainty if Dad could pull through at some point and regulate these vitals on his own. The Lord will guide us.

I met Milan last year and I know that he enjoys running and keeping in tip top shape.
Milan has a strong heart I am greatly encouraged by that. I will continue to keep happy prayerful thoughts about your Dad.

I am a friend from CHCC, and just heard about Dad. UCLA Med Center saved my life, and I am certain that they will save Dad's, too...keep on being an advocate for him, keep asking hard questions of the staff...we got you all covered in prayer..The other great gift a person can give to a patient is to be an avocate for them during this time of great need in the hospital...I believe that Milan has just begun to affect the world for Christ in a powerful way...Keep singing, laugh, hug, be patient..we got ya' covered!! Thank you for the blog, Kelly. Blessings over you all, Kris Patton
