Earlier today dad woke for the first time while we were at his bedside, his eyes stayed closed, he reached his arm up a little and said "Holy Sh*t." We laughed and it was very comforting because it is exactly what we would expect from him.
He has woken numerous times since then, talked to us for bits and then gives in, pushes his PCA (pain medication) and goes back to sleep. We realized we were keeping him awake because he didn't want to put his PCA when we were around. Therefore, we left to let him sleep and will see him in the morning.

I can totally hear him saying that. I'm praying for strength, faith and peace for you all. And my whole crew sends lots of love. <3 Thanks for updating this so much and letting us know what's going on.
ReplyDeleteThat IS just exactly the first thing that he would say...oh how I love him! If they would clean the rib and give it to your mom, what exactly would she do with it?
ReplyDeleteThe only thing better than hearing that Rick said that will be to hear him say it again, face-to-face; let me know as soon as he is at a point to comfortably receive a visit.
ReplyDeleteyep, that's EXACTLY what Rick would say - - - doesn't surprise me at all! and I know what Sue would do with the rib - she would frame it!
ReplyDeletetotally agree that is exactly what he would said :) Thoughts and prayers are with all of you and glad that Holly and Tricia are there
