We came back to the ICU when it opened at 9:00. The nurse told us that Dad had a good night and was much more lucid. Jacki walked in the room and Dad had his eyes open and said "hi Jacki". She was in the room with the nurse and the nurse told him what happened. Dad asked quote, "what's the prognosis?" and Jacki told him the doctors are hopeful for a full recovery to which Dad replied, "better than a not full recovery".
Jaima and Mom then went in to chat with him and were giving him some ice chips. Jaima asked if they tasted good, and he said, "yeah, but not as good as a good glass of gin." For those of you that know Jerry well, this is a good sign :)
Cam and Anastin arrived this morning, and then Cam and Jaima spent some time with Dad. Cam was telling him that he went to Popo's last night and Jaima said "they miss ya down there Dad" (for those of you that don't know, Dad goes down to Popo's for coffee every week day and for breakfast on Saturdays) Dad then said "I bet so. I am at 30% of their revenue. Certainly, 50% of their tips." It is GREAT to see Dad's personality coming out.
The nurse even said that he thinks that might be moving out of the ICU and have Dad up and about soon. Wow!
GO DAD! GO POP! GO JERRY!

Good, good morning seems like an understatment. So many bright spots, so much to be thankful for - is really great to hear that wonderful personality coming through. An answer to so many prayers. Heather's folks and my family all send their best wishes.
All our love,

Julia,
Thought I'd better clarify my last post so you don't think I'm completely loosing it. Sammy was helping me type the last message and Grandpa shouldn't have hit the send button. Of course, what we meant to say was Heather's "Up North" folks (Barb and Chuck) send their prayers and best wishes.
Your news gets better and better. Thanks again for keeping us all informed.
Love to all,
Uncle Mike
