Update

I know my blog has been dominated by concern for my father lately, but that's where I am, so. . .

There has been slight improvement over the last day or so. His vitals are stable and he was able to breathe without assistance last night--a good thing.

Doctors would like to see him progress in the following ways:
- decreasing reliance upon pure oxygen
- his blood to retain a higher level of oxygen saturation without assistance
- a decrease in white blood cell count, an indication of severe infection
- clearing lungs, an indication that the pneumonia is being cured
- a zeal to live.

What would I like? I want for my dad to have a deep awakening with Jesus. I want God to be so evident to my father that how he is in this temporal battle and life becomes less captivating than how he is with God in the eternal.

Wouldn't that be wonderful?
