Sitting up...

What a relief it is to have two or three consecutive days without any major setbacks! Dad was doing generally okay today - still on pain medication and still on antibiotics, but holding his own. Nurses had him out of bed and sitting up in an armchair for two or three hours this afternoon, and he said he felt "not bad." This was the first time in a couple of weeks that he'd been out of bed for a bit, so he was pretty tired this evening and just slept all through the visiting hour.
