First off, the last blog was not one daughter it was a combination of his two daughters and a family friend. Although, any one of us would like to take full credit for it we cannot unfortunately.

Next, dad's recovery is fast and fantastic. He was called a "champion patient" last night, and we are all constantly hearing how well he is doing and how quickly he is recovering. He woke up yesterday and was talking and visiting with family. He looked a tad zombie like but it is expected. Today when we visited him, he had more color in his face and was talking better. He was sitting up and eating some breakfast and doing his breathing exercises as well. Dad is looking and acting extremely well, and he should be moving out of the ICU and into his new room late this afternoon.

Third, we would like to ask that no visitors arrive at his hospital unless we have talked to you personally.

Finally, it is really great to see everyone looking out for him and checking back at this blog so often. I'm sure once he sees how many people have been reading this he will be impressed and flattered. We would like to make a special thank you to all the snopesters out there. We know of our support here in Lansing but it has been very touching to see so many of you from all over who care as well. Thank you all for keeping our father in you hearts and prayers.

P. S. I'm sorry that this entry lacks the common humor of the previous ones.
