Home Time

Dad was scheduled to be discharged from the hospital this morning. I was irrationally optimistic and came in with just a book to read. I should have brought my laptop, as we didn't get out until just after four PM.

He's doing fairly well, the steroids seem to be helping. While half of his diaphragm remains paralyzed, he's managing to breath well enough with the other half. His inhalation volume is up to about 90% of where it was before the latest hospitalization, which is better than it was when he was sent home following the operation. So we just need to exercise to keep both lungs inflating fully, and hope that the diaphragm will recover on it's own.
