Update on Dad.
We just came back from visiting Dad at the hospital,and he looks 1000% better than he did a few days ago.
He has been taken off the IPAP machine (intermittently), and was sitting up in bed when we arrived. He remembers nothing of his fall, is still very out of breath and for now will remain in the high dependency unit. His blood oxygen is still up and down and is checked regularly by a mountain of technology. This is the benchmark that is used to measure his progress and by this measure he is still in the danger zone.
To see him, however, alert and improving is a huge relief and a cause (not to pun) for us all to breathe easier.
