My thoughts are with Father in Law, Michelle and you.

I can attest to that.

The problem is they're all young...

Exhausted, but putting one foot in front of the other.
Dad's really doing well. He was alert enough at times within a couple of hours to "play Charades" and write little notes to communicate some questions and concerns and he was able to eat
some soft foods for dinner.
Everyone, I can't thank you all enough for your good thoughts and wishes...well, except Mom's. ;-) It means so much to me to read all of this!
Michelle
Great news [thumbsup]
Glad to hear it Michelle, thanks for the update. :)
