Thursday Morning Update

Good morning everyone! It is a hazy day here in Sioux City, Iowa. Mom, Jaima, Jacki, and I all stayed in the hotel room connected to the hospital last night. Last night they put an oxygen mask on Dad to help regulate his breathing - which is better for him than the ventilator.

Jaima stopped in to see Dad before she went to work, and he was asking for Jean. His blood pressure is much lower this morning which is obviously a good thing and key to his recovery. However, Dad is still a bit agitated and his visits will be limited again today.

I'll do my best to keep you updated throughout the day. We are so thankful for all the support we have received during this difficult time.

    We are praying for you. He is so lucky that your mom was watching out for him the other night. Jaima, if you need any help, give us a call. Even if you need a place for the girls to go... Really give us a call anytime. Neal, Emma, Bailey, and Abbey

    Thinking of all of you each day. Words from a favorite card: "No matter what life may bring, please believe in these two things--You are stronger than you may imagine, and you are never alone." -- Ray and Deb

    These updates are great! The only way to get accurate accounts in a small town, you know. :-) Thanks so much. We are thinking of you all day long. Anything we can do? Don't be afraid to ask. When your dad is ready for a little humor, ask if he'd like Bill to come and sit by his side? Your mom will clue you in on the humor of this idea. Pray the reports just keep getting more positive.
