Pretty Good Night?

When we arrived this morning, the nurse was very excited about what a great night Dad had. He needed some pain medicine but all of his numbers looked great throughout the night. When we asked Dad, he said he didn't have a good night. We are wondering if he is not wanting to be alone again now that he is more aware of his surroundings. Mom has been staying throughout the days with Jen and I coming in for a few hours at a time, but we are all going home at night. We may just try to extend our time into the evenings more which seems to be the worst time for him. Please pray for contentment and peace in his room especially when he is alone.

We talked to the resident this morning. He is very positive about all of Dad's improvements. They have taken him off all of the antibiotics but one (cipro). His white count was about the same as yesterday. He is on cPap mode (since 4 am) and is doing well. They want him to build up his endurance and strength but they don't want him to get too tired. We are praying for another good day today with more baby steps in the right direction!
