Journal entry by Jill Jansen —
Dad had a great day today! He remains optimistic and is determined to continue to get stronger! Today he worked with PT and OT three times throughout the day and was able to sit on the edge of the bed with assistance. He is tolerating a regular diet and is very happy to eat! They were able to remove extra lines including the temporary pacemaker. His vital signs are stable and he is gaining strength! He was even able to be downgraded from ICU to the neuro step down unit. Even though dad is progressing well, we still ask for many prayers for continued strength and movement. Dad has a long journey ahead. We appreciate all of the prayers, love and support!
