Well wishes needed uegently

Its been a few days since your last update, Don. How is everything going?

Well I didn't want to say anything too soon, the Drs took him off the machine that oxygenated his blood about 4 days ago and he woke up two days ago. He remembers quite a bit and is lucid and doing a little talking. He specifically asked for his bible and two navel oranges. He was on a liquid diet for the first day and is now on a soft diet. I haven't heard from his heart Dr, but his Kidney Dr is amazed at his body's progress and I suppose the kidney function and the heart function are kind of tied together in a case like this. He will most likely go from the hospital to a rehab center (across the street conveniently enough) before coming home. Needless to say the family is delighted and my wife has been spending the evenings (4-10) with him. He hopes to be able to go to his grandson's graduation from high school on the 13th and is really going to try and make it.

Now it looks like we're in the recovery process.
