Thank you all so very much for your prayers and support. There must be some powerful prayer warriors in our midst, as he has surprised the doctors! He woke up this morning (his 82nd birthday) with clear lungs and was released from the hospital. What a birthday gift that was for him!
His heart is still very weak, and the doctors have said there is no way to fix it, so it’s just a matter of time. BUT, he made it through when they didn’t think he would, so maybe he has longer than the doctor thinks. I talked to him tonight, and he sounded good (although I talked to him the before he went to the hospital and he sounded good then, too.)
Finally I’m back home to the land of bandwidth! I have become so dependent on my computer, it makes me a grumpy girl when I’m cut off. I couldn’t get on at all last night, and I tried long and hard!
Today was travel day, and I’m a bit beat, so I’ll resume with regular posts tomorrow night!
Such wonderful news Janet!!! We are so glad that you’re back!!! We missed you!!!
Thank you, Kathy, it’s great to be back. I missed you, too!

Janet, glad to hear the good news. Believe it or not, I have been living through my father’s deathbed ordeals now for 28 years. He used up his 9 lives decades ago. He’s just “not done”, despite it all. He’s only 77, and I don’t see him making it to 82. But you just never know. So, I am glad to hear the lightness in your heart today, and do rest and enjoy your New Year! Thanks for keeping us with you during this trying time. Blessings….
Well, I’m new to this…so it lasts for 28 years, huh? Good grief!
Yes, seriously keep some of your adrenaline in a reserve supply tank. Sometimes it has to carry you on for quite awhile. Hopefully not, in your case. I’m happy you all got good news at this time.
Thanks, Rhonda! It’s going to be an interesting ride!

Awwww… Happy Birthday to your dad and Happy New Year! Prayers really do work!
Sure seems like this is a positive answer to prayer…he had a lot of people praying for him, and confounded the “experts!”

It sounds like a temporary reprieve, but none of us know how long we have on this earth…Thanks, Kathleen. I’m thankful, too.
