Update from Scott

I drove up to Oelwein on Sunday morning to spend the day with dad.

The trip was pretty uneventful, as dad slept most of the time. He was awake more later on in the afternoon, but as it was a short visit for me I had to head back to Ankeny around 5:30pm.

The staff says that he's gradually (and slowly) improving. The keep dropping his oxygen levels and he's tolerating it fine. They're getting him up in the chair and helping him work towards building strength and stamina.

Hopefully the infections stay away and he can start weaning soon. I know he'll like being off the vent again.

Martha will be visiting on Tuesday and Liza will be going back up next weekend.
