Update

We are in the hospital room... waiting to see the floor doctor. Dad has still not woken up at all, though we continue to talk to him occasionally to let him know we are here and that we love him - not sure if he can hear us, but we will continue to let him know we are here. The ER doctor said that he is septic (spelling?), so he has an infection in his lungs, as well as continued swelling in his brain, so the combination of the two could be what is making him "sleep" so deeply. No one has titled it a "coma" yet, but Rocky said essentially that is what it is. Dad is still breathing on his own, so no machines are controlling that. They have given him antibiotics to help with the infection - however, this is not guaranteed to help him wake up. The ER doctor said that even if he does wake up, he will still have all the other issues he's been fighting. No other real news besides that. We don't know what the immediate future holds and/or what to expect. We are truly just trusting that God will keep him out of pain and suffering, and keep us peaceful and strong. We can't say thank you enough... the words don't feel like they express enough gratitude, we truly feel so amazed by the outpour of love and compassion for my Dad and our family. -Holly
