Father-in-law is awake and somewhat coherent. But the blood clots remain in the heart and brain. The blood clot is in the Anterior Celerbral Artery http://www.med.harvard.edu/AANLIB/cases/caseM/mr1_t/025.html. Their still trying to figure out how the multiple heart attacks happened. Really no change other than they don't have him sedated any longer. Still in very serious condition. We had to head back to Pocatello tonight for work and our kids.

We plan on going back up Friday Lord willing if he's hanging on. You have to leave it in Gods hands. Were going to take our trailer and stay in the 10 camp site that the Hospital provides. If anyone wants to run early in the morning on Saturday and Sunday up in SLC let me know.

Running note: I did run 10.12 miles this morning at an overall 7:10 pace in 1:12:34 but the hip pain wasn't any better after two days off. I think God is telling me something this year.

ound out today that I have 8 broken ribs with multiple fractions on the ribs. I did situp today and take two steps. But I have an epidural in my back for pain. Along with two front pelvic cracks on right and left. I have a spleen and liver cut and the broken femur with a rod in my leg along with a lower femur crack.. I also have a crack in the butt which isn't bad. Tomorrow I get moved out of ICU into a regular

Room for more physical therapy. I will work using a walker and crutches to learn

To walk without bearing weight on the femur.

Long recovery but God is Good ans I could be dead. The ribs will

Be a challenge.

Did two sessions of physical therapy and again amazed the PT how well I'm responding. Walked up and down the hall twice in the afternoon and evening with a walker. Practice standing up without putting weight on the left leg. No real pain in the femur or pelvic, but I can feel the lateral and posterior cracks in the ribs.

Tomorrow more of the same. Just improve each day and be patient for a long time. Tomorrow will be 6 days in the hospital. My hotel hollywood.

One good note my wife got me a ultimate grilled chicken sandwhich from Wendy's. I've ate nothing but healthy stuff since the accident. They started letting me eat on Friday. Not eating a lot just enough to get protein and nutrients in the body. I've ate nothing but healthy things like I said. I bypassed the Hospital dinner choice which was Roast Beef with Gravy and Chocolate Pudding with whip cream for the Wendy's grilled chicken sandwhich. I got to pick my menu for tomorrow.

My goal words: Trust in God and improve each day.
