Breathe New Life



It's been 2 weeks since my father has been hospitalized and this weekend, he has shown some encouraging signs that raised our hopes up that we will be able to bring him home again eventually.

He is beginning to breathe on his own without the aid of a respirator!

On Sunday, the doctor has ordered that the respirator be turned off from time to time to see if Papa could handle it. So far, he's showing good signs and if he'll continue with this, we can expect him to be off the machine in a couple of days!

I know that it's still a long way to full recovery but anything to make my father a little more comfortable is a big deal for now.

We can't wait to have him home again because we know that's where he belongs.

My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family in this difficlut time. When you left the comment on my blog in reference to your Dad, I realized that you too were blessed...as I. In a time when soo many children are emotionally and physicaly abandoned, it is a treasure to find mothers and fathers that through their time, love and dedication have created a legacy. May he have a speedy recovery...
