My father in law was released from hospital today after only 5 nights in the ICU!! 

This is a huge blessing as he has not slept at all while in the hospital, being in the ICU there are always equipment alarms going off at all times of the day and night so just as he was able to get comfortable and fall asleep he was woken up 10 minutes later.

He was able to do 5 laps of the ICU unassisted, as well as walk the hallway that goes the entire length of the hospital and back, also unassisted this morning so the doctor felt that it would be more beneficial for him to be at home, in his own bed and in his own surroundings for the remainder of his recovery.

Thank you so much to everyone for all the positive vibes and prayers, they were listened to!!

His next surgery is going to be a lot more intense, they will be removing half of his right lung to get rid of the cancer that is in there.  We don't have a surgery date yet for him, but it should be in the next 4-5 weeks!
