Update on dad 1/6/09

Just a quick update.
After a rough night last night where things were beginning to look quite bleak, things have improved some over night. His lungs look a little better. He is still on the Ventilator. They are encouraged by that. They believe the issue of inflamation in his lungs is his body beginning to fight all of the blood transfusions he has had. Pretty much every infection or virus has been ruled out. The only thing they can do is keep him going, get him to rest, and wait. His heart has shown some things that have concerned the Drs but is settled down for now and doing better.
He has been responsive Today as they ease off some of the drugs. He wants to talk and tell us something, so we have to lay low so he will not get too worked up. He does know we are there and will nod to answer some questions.
I will update more later as I have time.
