Saturday:

Today is a good day. Larry's blood pressure continues to be on the low side, but his oxygen is better. He is able to breathe better on his own but is still connected to the oxygen. Today the physical therapists came by and were able to get Larry out of bed and take a little stroll. He needed a walker, but with the aid of the therapists it was a welcome sight to see Larry up out of bed. He seems more alert then he has been and his coloring is improved. Right now he is actually sitting up in a chair. He hasn't done that for many days. He is enjoying the cards, comments and emails he has received.

We asked Larry if there was anything he wanted to say. Here it is: "I didn't know that there were such pretty girls in life - particularly the nurses that come see me. I just have to be thankful to be in a hospital where nearly everyone that has anything to do with doctoring is a Christian. I am so lucky to have a supportive family and neighbors and am anxious to get back to work. And I miss my daughter this morning".

The above sentences he could not have spoken even a day ago. He is slowly showing improvement and we are grateful for the many prayers being lifted up for him. It will still be a few days until he can come home but we are looking forward to that day.

Please feel free to leave a comment. It encourages him and Sherry to hear from you.
