our dad was moved out of the ICU yesterday by the way! it’s still so surreal that the outcome of all this has been so smooth (knock on wood). doctors weren’t sure if he was going to have functioning lungs or kidneys, frankly they weren’t even sure if he was going to make it off the table. but he’s breathing and eating on his own, his heart is working better, recovery is going well so far!
it’ll still take a bit for things to go back to normal; we’re handling a lot more things alone at home and we’re catching up on college assignments. but things are looking up, somehow, some way.
we’ll probably stop posting about this matter soon unless something crazy happens but i know our friends were (understandably) really worried about our situation so i wanted to put this out there.
