[SMC] Prayer request.
Just got word this past week that my dad is not doing well and was admitted to a hospital in Marrietta GA. I got a call from my sister this morning and it looks like he will not survive. I am headed to Atlanta tomorrow to be with him while I can. Please keep him your prayers.

Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes guys. I spent yesterday at the hospital in Atlanta with dad. It seems like he has taken a turn for the better. He still has a long way to go and we aren't out of the woods yet but things are looking marginally better.
I was able to talk to him and he was able to nod and shake his head. He can't talk because of the ventilator but he knew I was there. They took him off the blood pressure medicine yesterday and he is maintaining his own blood pressure it is low but not artificially controlled by medicine. His liver is regaining some function and his kidneys seem to be working better. The doctors hope to start weening him off the vent today. They say if he continues to progress he could be off it completely in 3-4 days.
Thanks again for all the prayers and support.
