FRIDAY DAY 14

they have finally moved my dad out of the icu. they did it early this morning. when we got to his room we noticed that his neck brace was off. we asked if he did it, and he gave us a guilty look. i asked him how he got it off and he said "easy." his right hand is still tied down and his left hand doesn't work much, so i really don't know how easy it was but he is determined. the only tube attached to him now is his feeding tube. it's nice to see him without wires everywhere. he keeps asking for something to drink because he is so thirsty. it's hard not giving him anything. the video clip is a family joke we have had for many years(get me a dr pepper in the refrigerator). it's good to see that my real dad is still in there. it makes us laugh when he signs "i love you," because he forgets to hold up his thumb too, so really what he is saying is "rock on." either way we love him and we want him to keep "rocking on."
