Evening update

A huge praise!!! Dad passed his swallow test!!! He was so thrilled, we are all thrilled!! I thought Jesse, my 11 year old son, was going to cry when I told him. We have all hurt for Dad in this difficult time.
Anyway, he went and ate mashed potatoes, chicken, and green peas tonight. Mom said that Dad loved it.
He has been released from the hospital, everything seemed to check out ok, but they want him to stay close for tonight, and maybe tomorrow night as well. Dad's breathing is still not right, but they think it may have something to do with some nerve damage caused during surgery. They said he can stay on the lasiks as needed, but they said they did not find a blood clot near the heart. I did not find out what the knot in his leg was, will have to ask Mom tom. what they said about that.
They also said it looks like his heart is fine, and did not suffer any damage due to the excessive rapid heart rate over the last few weeks. I will feel better when Dad's heart rate slows to a more normal rate, and also when his breathing improves, but it sounds like this may take a little time.
Mom and Dad are going to stay the night in Houston at the Rotary House. He has no fever now, but they have taken him off the antibiotics to see what happens. So tonight we can praise God for Dad passing his test, and also pray for continued wisdom for those taking care of him, strength for him and Mom, and healing in his body to continue.
Thank you all for praying, JJ and the Janszen Kids
