Well I figure as the one child who saw Dad the most during this latest adventure that I would write a quick update. Obviously we all know that Dad just had coronary bypass surgery (six bypasses) a little over a week ago. Everything went great and Dad is making a speedy recovery. In fact, it seems he is making a record recovery! All of his nurses and doctors have been so impressed for one, that he looks as good as he does. We all already knew that. But he hasn't had any problems and is recovering very fast. He had to get up and go for walks with his nurses while he was in the hospital and he was much faster and went much further than they expected him too. Each time he went for his walks he went further and further too. He must have been nicknamed speedy by the nurses. He was out of the intensive care unit in less than 24 hours which is very impressive. Dad left the hospital at noon on Tuesday, just 4 days after the surgery! Now he is back home, and Mom is his full time nurse now! (way to go Mom) Not that he really needs a full time nurse because he is up and around walking and talking and doing things as he normally does, just getting tired a little quicker than he's used too. It seems that just a week after his surgery Dad is doing great. He goes to physical therapy during the week and he is days ahead of the schedule...Most patients walk 6 minutes on the treadmill and Dad is doing 12 and moving on to 15! Way to give it the Cox kick dad. Anyways the main reason for this post was to have a picture for visual confirmation that Dad is doing great and getting back to normal, and as you can tell his spirits are high and he is goofing off as usual. Way to go Dad!
