Good day for Dad. Off respirator, no need for oxy mask, just tube. Ate jello, milk. A little confused, but in good spirits. Wants to be rid of catheter. (sp?) Not yet. Visited by an old friend, a dentist he has done business with for more than 20 years. ---

**Bos’** , As I wrote you earlier, I think your Dad has a terrific son and I am very glad you were able to be at his side through this critical time. Please don’t misunderstand, I don’t wish anyone ill health, but it’s stories such as this one which make me miss my job. Best wishes to both of you! Bill ---

Dad had a setback today. He startyed vomiting, & they discovered that he hadn’t digested any of the food he ate yesterday. They pumped his stomach. There is no blockage, nor bleeding. He’s just having trouble, & they are giving him medicine. More later, after evening visit. ---

He’s a little loopy, from the anti-nausea medicine. Wants to yank the tube out of his nose, so wrist cuffs are needed. ---

Just getting back to the thread. What’s the latest, **Bos’**? Your Dad’s had a rough go of it, my friend. Hope he’s getting stronger and on the mend. Bill ---

He popped his stitches. Just a few, on the outside. They sewed em back this AM. Minor procedure. And now, he ain’t raising hell with the nurses anymore. Tomorrow, he may move out of CCU. ---

Moving out of the CCU would be great news. I hope he continutes with a strong steady recovery. You take care of yourself too. ---
