Update on Dad. They unhooked the first part of his life support today, the heart pump, to see how he did on his own. It went fine. I talked to him, so he could hear my voice. I told him that he was the only person left on this earth that could still call me red and that daddy’s girl was proud of him and also that I loved him. He cracked an eye and raised a eyebrow at me. Best Christmas present I could ever receive. The breathing tube is next tomorrow. He still isn’t out of the woods, but it is all in God’s hands.
