At 12:45 we were allowed to visit Dad in the ICU.  We stayed for 15 minutes.  Normally only 2 people can go in the ICU at a time, but the day of surgery is an exception.  All 5 of us were there.

He was very, very groggy but was moving his arms, legs and shifting around the bed, which was a very welcome sight.  He was responding to the nurse's commands like wiggle your toes and squeeze my hand.

He won't remember any of that visit, but it was good for us to see him moving under his own power.
