True to the feisty man that my dad is he is still fighting the tracheotomy, 02stat monitor and the pressure cuffs on his calfs that are to keep him from getting blood clots. My Uncle Doug (my dads brother) and Kent (Angie's husband) just gave a beautiful blessing of comfort. In it they blessed him that he would be able to relax and tolerate all of the tubes and other medical equipment that he has attached to him. When they left the room he seemed more peaceful and calm. He is definitely more conscious of his surroundings today and physically looks better. They did get him out of bed and he took 20 steps forward and then backward and then had him sit in a chair for a few minutes. We have been blessed to have people visit us: Michelle and Gordon Baker (dad's brother & sister-in-law), Grandma Baker (dad's mom), Steve and Terri (dad's brother & sister-in-law), Doug and Caroline (dad's brother & sister-in-law). We feel all of your prayers and keep sending them our way!!! Love, US

We're so glad to hear that things are looking a bit better. Hang in there and know the prayers and love will continue to flow your way.
Much love,
Kennon & Cheri
I'm so glad to hear things are going a little better. It's amazing what the power of the priesthood can do, and the power of prayer. That's way exciting to know that Marty was up and taking some steps. I'm glad that Steve, Doug, Gordon and Auntie Audrey were able to visit with him. I have such awesome cousins.Thanks again to Angie and Diedra for the blog and the updates. You are all in our prayers.
Love Susan
