Monday, December 1...Hello,Hello!

Dad had another good day in ICU; when Cheryl went by to check on him mid-day, she found him sitting up in a neuro chair! Cheryl told Dad that Alex was eager to visit him, and Dad replied, “bring him!” Unfortunately, kids can’t visit in the ICU, but hopefully, Dad will be moved soon. When Mom, Dave & I arrived for evening visitation, Dad greeted us. He was answering our questions with one or two words and seemed impressed with the picture of Bryan Dorman’s fish he caught at Lake Conroe this weekend when Bryan came by to visit. However, the highlight of our night was when my cousin Kevin called and asked if he could say hello to his Uncle George. Mom put her cell phone up to Dad’s ear, and when Kevin started talking and asking Dad questions, dad answered in full sentences! Mom and I just looked at each other and started crying; we hadn’t heard that many words come out of Dad’s mouth in 5 days!! When Mom finally got the phone back, Kevin was just as amazed as we were. Mom said, “I don’t know why he talked like that to you, and not us.” Kevin responded, “because he loves me more!” When Dad gets better, he’s got some explaining to do … ha!!
