Here is the latest update, from 2/26:
Dear Corky:
Dad is awake more and more now since the spinal block is gone. They
have him on morphin which gives us some limited time with him between
injections. But his pain level is still high.
When he first woke you can imagine the shock he had when he learned it
was day 5 and he was not in a regular room. He now knows what is going
on and that he has had a heart attack, heart surgery and on the
ventilator.
His favorite words to mouth are 'GET ME OUT OF HERE"
Thank you again for your prayers and thoughts, Debra
P.S. Dianne probably already told you this, but when he woke and saw
his canoe of Disney animals, he focused on them and got the biggest
smile on his face - just like a baby!!! It was really a special moment
and because that came from you all, it was like you shared in the moment
with us!
Debra Burbrink
