Miraculous recovery

Hi everyone,   Sorry its been awhile since my last update.  Since last time, Dad has gone to see the doctors in spokane and been released by all of them,  and has been taken off the IV antibiotics, that was sometime in July. The infectious disease doc said that 85 days is a record for having an IV antibiotics in for.  His brain scans show that the emboli are shrinking down, and recovering past the point of needing antibiotics. And Dad continues to get stronger every day, he has started cooking again, doing small projects at the shop, driving and drawing a little bit.  He isnt cranking out the sketches yet like he used to but hopefully soon. He has had some shoulder problems due to a small fall he had in mid July, they are going to Seattle to check into that on Wednesday.  I am headed back to Hawaii to finish up my last year and a half at University of Hawaii.  My cousin Holly has moved in to our house so my parents will still have some extra help if they need it while Im gone.  Praise God for all the miraculous healing that has taken place in my dad.  We've heard several doctors say, " I didnt think he was going to make it."  but by God's grace and power he survived.  Thank you for all your prayers and hopefully this will be my last entry for these updates. Love you all , Aloha
