Thanks Christine,

My dad is gaining strength slowly and day two after surgery, he has started walking. He wants to leave the hospital(he's super restless) but we think he should stay til Monday at least. He can't talk still so he writes.

I am so happy with his progress. For being 70+ years old, he's doing great! I constantly feel a burden of guilt for not being there with him. He did not want me to come since I have a 3 and 1 year old. I hope I can get over the guilt.
