The excitement today was that Dad was able to get ice chips into his mouth by himself, with his right hand. (This is the side that had the surgery.) He started with his left hand, but was determined to make his right hand work, and he kept trying till he got it! Later we took him some ice cream, and again he did it himself, with just a little help from me pushing his elbow. His arm was quite stiff, but by the end it didn't take nearly as much pressure to get the spoon to his mouth as it did at first. We're hoping a physiotherapist will be in to work with him tomorrow to get him into a chair and maybe standing a little. We're also hoping he won't be in ICU for more than a few days.
His mind is clearer each day, although his vision isn't yet.
It's so nice to have Dad looking and sounding like himself again!

Is the ice cream tasting really good to him? That is so exciting to hear how much he is able to do already! Thanks for the updates.
