Breathing!
Dad's made some great strides. He's been breathing on his own for a few hours and the nurses took out his breathing tubes about a half hour ago. After taking his tubes out, Adel said "Now you can say Hi Karen!" Dad was able to whisper "Hi Karen" - good. Then the nurse said "John, do you know where you are?" He shook his head yes. "John, where are you?" "In heaven" said Dad and then a big grin came over his face and he kind of laughed. Then, as mom and the nurse were laughing, he said "In the hospital." It's so great to see he's got his sense of humor back. Seems that he is feeling less fearful and more comfortable with his status. So are we.

This is great Juan!!! Get well my friend get well. The children of Pimpollo and the dump (forgot name) need a man like you in their lives.
ReplyDeleteHi Kerr family,
ReplyDeleteWe've been tuned into the blog day and night waiting for this good news. You all have been in our thoughts and prayers. I even went so far as to drive around the hospital a few times hoping to catch sight of one of you but of course you're up in the cardiac unit as we were when Mike had his surgery. That sense of humor will get you through the rough parts so keep those "funnies" coming!
Our best to you all and thanks for the blog!
I was surprised to find out about John. Sounds like he is making some progress. Our thoughts are with you from San Diego. Pete and Marsha Shepard
