yikes.

i'm feeling a bit better tonight. dad is doing really well and is able to communicate using "yes" and "no" nods of the head. he can't talk because of the vent, but it's great to see him understand our questions and respond. he even smiled when i showed him pics of the grandchildren. i can feel the frustration building though as he made a tight fist tonight with his right hand. he also held out his arm and two fingers (don't know why, but it definitely looks like he's trying to tell us something: "you two get out?"). my dad has a really bad temper and my sister and i think that it's reaching defcon orange. we are afraid that he's gonna explode. yikes.
