Dad/grandpa/great grandpa is doing well, he is having some irritation with the tubes that are in his chest to drain fluids, but the nurses expect the DR to remove them today.
He went for a walk last night around the CCU and the nurse and staff were very impressed with how far he went last night.
The big heart pillow is used to apply pressure against dads chest when he coughs or sneezes. He also uses it for getting up and down for his walks.
I am heading home today, but Dan will continue the blog postings when he sees dad on Thursday morning. I think he is in good hands here at the hospital, overall mom and dad are very pleased with how dad has been treated. Great nurses and Dr's.

He looks great. No one has a bigger ticker than dad! :)
Looking good dad... I like the pillow.... you always have looked good in red.
Dad didn't believe me when I told him he was going to get a heart pillow. I'm glad he is doing so well!
Glad to see you looking so good Dad. Mike hide the golf clubs before you leave!
I think that if Dad ever needs a super hero name that "Heart Guy" would be a good one =)
THANKS MICHAEL! Dad and I sure appreciate the loving care Michael has given us. I don't know what I would have done without him. We didn't think we needed help but we were way wrong and it means a lot to us that it is our kids who are so willing to give us the aid we need. We love you all (including our daughters-in-law who are willing to share their husbands with us!) So thank you Michael--and I love the "touch" you gave the pillows on your bed. Love you so very much. You are a good son.
Yeah dad - you look great! I love your heart pillow and I love you too.
We can't wait to see you and mom on Saturday .. guess I'll take over blogging from Dan, who is taking over from David (I think).
