A Good Day for Dad

Yesterday (Friday) was perhaps Dad's best day since arriving at the hospital in Hastings. He was calm all day, responded to jokes by nurses, spoke more clearly, took his medicine willingly (even thanked one of the nurses for it) and ate well. While we are still realistic about his prognosis, we'll take it as a good sign and hope that his progress continues. The nurses say they are seeing small improvement but dad is still not ready to be released.
