Perspective

We did some of Dad's exercises while breathing through a straw last night. We also tried some more "strenuous" ones since we all have two lungs and are healthy!

We all gained a new understanding of how hard it is for Bumpa to breathe.

It sounds like Dad had a little bit of a rough night. When they intubated him, they had to use restraints for his hands. Over the past several days, they have taken his restraints off but are watching him so tubes don't get pulled out. Apparently, last night, he was reaching for a tube and the restraints had to go back on. He also needed his oxygen to go up to 60% and the pressure to 8 (from 5 yesterday). This is all from Don's report when he arrived at 7 am. I will try to post later once I talk to Mom and get to the hospital. Please pray that we would regain the ground we made yesterday and continue to move forward. Thanks!
