Apple Juice

This afternoon Dad walked again, 4 laps this time (that is 1/6th of a mile) and stayed off oxygen all day. He was worn out by the time we left since he had started his day at 0400, but hopefully tonight he will get some sleep. His doctor let him have sips of apple juice this afternoon which he enjoyed every bit of. He has a cough that they are trying to get under control, but his lungs are clear and his humor is solidly intact. Tomorrow he will be downgraded out of the ICU to their stepdown unit and the rumor is that he will get to eat. Every time we see him he has more lines removed. I can't believe how well he is doing. We appreciate everyones support/prayers/blessings, I know it is helping.
