Out of ICU...

Dad got moved out of ICU last night and has a very nice private room now. He's in good spirits and looks great. Right now, he's sitting up having some lunch.

Surgery on his second carotid artery is set for tomorrow at 10:00, I think. We're thinking he'll be home on Tuesday or Wednesday.

We took Mama to church today and out to lunch afterward. She is hanging in there - patiently waiting for Dad to get back home. Putting up with her kids - bossing her around occasionally - drink this, do that, come with us here, etc... She's a good sport. We are sooo lucky to have her around.

Today at church, Dr. Schwein's sermon was "God as GPS". It was confirmation that God guides us and protects us. We have prayed for guidance and answers regarding whether Dad should have surgery and rehab and really, our answers have been crystal clear.

Thanking you for all your thougths and prayers again... Audi

Thanks for the updates and reports on Nelson. Please know that a "passel" (that's southern for "a whole bunch") of folks are praying for your Dad, your mom, and now for your cousin's family.

What a tragedy, the last thing. Wow, ... Satan may win some of the battles; but as your cousin (PTL) now knows, he will not win the war.

Blessings to all the Chamberlins and Cathcarts ... <'BB><
