Once again, thank you for all the prayers and thoughts you have been sending our way, we truly believe that we are lucky that dad is doing so well and got in to do the surgery so quickly (judging by other cases we are hearing). It is nice to know we have such a strong community around us to support Dad.

Good Night Moon...
After getting kicked out of dad's room for the night his MRI appointment got pushed back to an unknown time (deja vu, this happened over labor day also). By the time we finished dinner he had completed his MRI and we will find out the results in the morning. He was able to eat solid foods (half a sandwich), sit up for quite sometime without becoming too nauseous, carrying on quite a bit of conversation. However dad did get a bit tangled up in all of his tubes and became flustered, Laura and I managed to defuse the situation by having the nurse unplug and replug everything in a more organized fashion. The male night nurse on duty tonight was a bit bumbling, he would trip over things and was a little bit scatter brained, but after bringing this up he was nothing but apologizing and accommodating (however still a little scatter brained). But Sandra is staying with him in the ICU tonight.

Wow, sounds like everything is progressing nicely. I've been thinking about all of you for the last few weeks. It's great your dad had an opportunity to deal with the situation and not let it take over his life.

To the Trofholz family: I've been following your blog and praying for you all, as have many others from Don's "work family". It really sounds like things have gone remarkably well this weekend. Thrilled to hear it, and thanks for the many updates.
