My sister was over at the hospital tonight.  My dad was awake and talking... heh.  He still has some get up and go apparently. 

He's very confused, but the words are understandable.  Although she did say he kept looking at some spot on the ceiling like there was something up there. (I've had that happen when working with old folks)

Earlier today when I called the day nurse, she said he was still not responding... guess things changed.  How much?  Who knows.   Once again only time will tell. 

He's certainly a stubborn Irishman - just not ready to go yet.  Good for him!

1 Good for him is right!  Glad to hear he's fighting.  Well, he is Irish...

My Mom [Irish as well] was pronounced dead a couple of times and went on to live to 91.  You never know.

9 Good Grief.  I just read through all the posts.  I'm horrified and so sorry!  I'm glad he's hanging in there.  I hope his unresponsiveness at times is just his being stubborn.  My prayers are with y'all.
