Thanks everyone! I really appreciate it! :tup:

He is still pretty weak. His heart is still controlled via medicine and pacer (external temporary). Until his heart become more stable, they are planning on keeping him on the vent. Instead of through the mouth (the one he currently has), they are going to bring him in the OR tomorrow and put a track tube in. It's the same concept of artificial breathing but this one goes right below the neck. It's suppose to be more comfortable for the patient. We just have to wait and see how he does. BTW, today he opened his eyes and moved his arm/legs etc. He was following everything we were saying, i guess that's a positive sign.

thanks

AK

Excellent, it will take time. My Dad went through this 7 years ago. Be patient and strong, and in time he will slowly get better, we are praying for him!

Great news, AK. Sounds like he's making progress! It's slow at first but as he regains strength, speed of healing will increase. I know all this from experience with my father-in-law, who made it to 93 after a triple bypass. :tiphat:

Posting from bedside! Good update
 
Thanks to all of your prayers, he was doing very well today morning. They turned the vent down and he was able to breathe on his own pretty good. So, they cancelled the trach tube and simply extubated him! He is still on oxygen , but it's a lot better than breathing with tube down the throat. Now, he just have to maintain this progress :excited:

semtex 10-20-2009 01:18 PM

:iagree:

It is great to hear he is starting to recover some of his motor skills; and the fact that his brain activity is starting to pick up gives us more confidence in his recovery.

It's great to hear that he is doing better, sounds like a fighter. Everyone here wishes you and your family our best. We hope he keeps it up, and you also :tiphat:

Wow, I'm just getting caught up. I can't imagine what you are going through, I'm very happy that he's starting to show signs of progress, getting rid of the breathing tube and machine is a huge step in the right direction.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

They moved him from Surgical Intensive Care Unit to regular floor. He is doing ok. Still very weak and unable to walk. They are doing physical therapy to bring back his strength. Thanks everyone for your prayers. :tup:

I'm still driving back and forth everyday. I am very happy to say the Z was there EVERYDAY when I needed it. The Z drove like soldier. This last one month I accumulated a lot miles on the Z. Not a single issue or problem. :tup:

Great news, same situation my Dad went through. He'll slowly get stronger. It took my Dad months to get to where he had some energy and life back in him. Now he's great. Hang tough, it will slowly improve, just takes time :tup:

AK,

I just found this post and I want to say it's good to hear that your "pops" is on the up-and-up and that you were steadfast in your support and care...

I went to my Sister-in-law's father's funeral today and it certainly was a sobering and somber time... These things always make us hold up the mirror to ourselves and force us to see who we really are, at our most vulnerable moments.

Sometimes we pass with flying colors and are the epitome of strength and support..., other times it's more than we can bear, and we become the one who needs rescuing. Sometimes it even falls somewhere in-between, and we have a momentary lapse only to return stronger and more determined...

My thoughts are with you and your father.
