This is Scott - I just got to the hospital to see dad. I hoped to be here last night, but there was a delay while we sorted out whether or not Liza was coming with me, so I didn't get into town until almost 11:00pm.

Das was awake and alert when I got here at 9, and they started doing the wean around 9:30. His oxygen levels look good so far, hopefully he can make it several hours today.

I'll be here until tomorrow afternoon, and Martha is coming back up on Tuesday (I think).

I'll be reading dad some of your posts, cards, and letters today, and will attempt to trim his beard, which is getting pretty thick.
