Update on my dad 1-5-2009
My dad got moved to a regular room after being in the ICU for 6 weeks. We're grateful, he is in a room by himself. It's nice and quiet in there. But, I think we got a little spoiled in the ICU though. The nurses were always right there. Now they only come in to take his vitals, move his position, clean him, give him his meds. I don't think the nurses read the patients file to see what actually happened to them to put them here in the first place. They always ask us, "what happened to him?" I think my dad gets sick of hearing my mom explain to the nurses what happened. I know I would. I just pray with him, read the Bible to him and tell him what's been going on with my boys. I try to put his favorite shows on for him so he can hear them. I want to get a CD player in there, and get some books on tape for him. I put up a sign in guest book. That way if one of us isn't there, the other one will know who was there and when. That was my sister Kandy's idea. Thanks Kan!

Josh sits right next to Matthew on the couch. Matthew starts elbowing Josh, because Josh has no sense of personal space. Even my 3 year old knows that.
Here's what Josh says to Matthew:
"Stop elbow molesting me!"

Convo with Josh this morning

This is what Josh said when he finally woke up this morning at 9:05am:
J.- It will never rain again!
M.- Why, what happened?
J.- For one, I had a dream last night that everyone was making Art Sculptures of me!
2. It was really cold!
3. My pants kept on creeping up on my crotch!

My dad had a stroke last Tuesday. Please keep him in your prayers. He's in the ICU but hopefully he'll be able to go into a regular room soon.
