Sorry Folks for the late post but today was a day of rest and errands. We saw my dad this morning and he was doing okay. He was already off of his blood pressure medicine so his body could take over maintaining it and it was very stable, it still was a little low but slowly going up. This is a good sign. He is also on a feeding tube once again and they are also going to ween him off other medications that are for nourishment and just use the feeding tube as his sole source of nourishment. Tomorrow they are going to remove his pressure packs and close him up so hopefully that will go well. They are still testing him for everything because he is still critical but Mr. V is slowly going in the right direction once again. So the late post, reason. Well my mom and I went to their house out in Cypress and we got more things from the house for her and me. She has good neighbors who put away her newspaper out of site and water her plants. She got some things like bills, medicine, etc. Just because for a little our world has stopped doesn't mean the bills stop nope they don't care they still collect from you no matter what your situation. "Oh yes ma'am that is unfortunate for you about your husband but okay are you going to pay this or not because we are about to cut off your power." Awesome, only in America. My mom gave me her king size bed sheets for my new king size bed (thanks Murphy family)! Yeah another adventure in how after a days of spending the night at the hospital and just wanting to crash at home in your bed and your husband says "Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeey we got this bed and we need to set up and also dismantle our queen size bed and yeaaaaaaah are you and your mom ready for some furniture work?" Ugh we did it and it looks nice but yeah I was tired. My mom too but she ordered me today after we did our run to Cypress to go home and rest. I did because my dad was having a good day today. Me and my mom forget we need to take care of ourselves too. I know it will be harder for me to convince my mom to do the same and rest but I bet when my dad gets better she will do it. I know with injuries as serious as my dad has sustained their will be ups and downs but right now he is up and we cherish that so much. We thank you so much for your prayers and thoughts.
