Dad appeared to be a bit better today. When he seizured they told us it could be 48+ hours before he begins to come around. I guess he is right on target!
He was a tad grumpy and aggitated. But, we rejoiced in hearing his voice (although only a few words). It brought hope!
All the tests have come back negative with the exception an x-ray showed a small amount of fluid on his lung. It was caused from the rib being removed during surgery. Apparently this is not uncommon.
The doctor has finally agreed to our request to wean him off the Parkinson's Medication!
This has been a huge concern (after much research, of course), yet our requests have fallen on deaf ears.
He is, by no means, out of the woods. But, seeing him try to move, talk and open his eyes was a wonderful thing.

Our agency called this morning.
Our profile was HIGHLY FAVORED by the birthmom and her family. After 5 hours of talking and going over profiles she was unable to make a decision. She is very, very young and struggling as she wants to keep her baby. She has no family support, her options are limited. My heart goes out to her, it really does. I am praying for her and the baby. We may and may not hear more from this situation.
Our profile is also being shown to another birthmom this week. I do not have details, except that our agency is going to present us - and I know she is due in August.
On that note, I am off to bed! Good-night all!
Happy 19th Birthday, Owen

It's good to hear a more positive report on your dad. Still praying for him.
Very exciting to hear that your profile impressed the expectant mom...we'll be praying for her and also for the other mama that is being presented with your profile this week. Wow...lots of stuff going on for you guys right now!
So glad your dad is finally starting to look better. Praying for small miracles as he continues healing.
Wonderful news about your profile. Being shown twice at the same time! I'll keep both birthmoms in my prayers. I hope your wait is over soon.
Good luck! Glad your dad is doing better.
Praise God that your father is doing better and the doctors have agreed and are willing to wean him off of his P'son meds.
Great news about your profile...best wishes. You all are in my prayers.
