the doctors are giving good thumbs up signs concerning dad's progress thus far. last night he was blinking under his eyelids attempting to answer questions. he still hasn't been able to move his extremities due to the paralytic and sedative in his system, so we're praying fervently that sometime today or tomorrow he starts showing some reflexes - he just can't flush out the drugs quickly, it seems.
he's still in really critical condition - especially his kidneys - his levels rose quite a bit today which isn't good. again, dialysis is possibly around the corner to help flush out his kidneys. so please pray for the kidneys. also, pray he'll make bigger steps towards waking up and for how he'll feel once he awakes. and it'll be critical for him to begin to take breaths on his own once they start turning down the ventilator.
i'll update later as the day goes on...we're so thankful for all of the prayers! feel free to leave comments on the blog because i'm sure dad will love to read them once he gets better. we've been overwhelmed with how much affection and concern has been poured out on our family during this time.
