Tonight's update

Hi Everyone,

Pop did much better tonight. In fact, it was the best I've seen him in a while. He was using his right arm to wave off the nurse who was helping to suction and swap his mouth.

He had a little oxygen over his mouth and nose to help with his oxygen levels, and his sugar was a little high at 245, but they are tweaking his insulin and IV sugar intakes to make sure that his levels will remain stable. His chest x-ray came back with a little something in his lungs, so they took a preventative measure and put Pop on IV antibiotics to prevent bacterial pneumonia.

He was able to look at Aunt Debbie and myself and nod yes to questions. We were playing a little bit of trivia to see what Pop could figure out, but there was no way of us know if he was cheating, since he would only nod "yes" if he said that he had the correct answer. :)

When we left, he motioned to give Aunt Debbie a kiss and he audibly said "I love you" to me.

Love,
Jason
