Jan. 7

Just to let you all know that Clem is a room again, this time on the 8th floor. So far I've not been able to hook up to their wireless, so I can only blog when I get a chance to run back to the hotel. Please excuse the choppy writing, I'm in a hurry to get back.
Only one drain is left and it will be removed sometime today. He is moving his left arm and fingers a lot and they are becoming less stiff. The abdominal incision is healing very well, no infection or questionable spots. They removed the "bandage" on it this morning. His lungs are much improved. He is eating well now. He will be given a sleep aid as he needs it. Clem only slept 3 hours last night and was fidgety but tonight he should sleep much better. He needs to get his body clock adjusted to day and night again and the sleeping med will help. We will be talking to the physical therapy case worker either this evening or tomorrow to find out the what and where about his therapy schedule. Dr. Simpkins said that it looks like his lungs are stabilized (the Xray they took today should tell) and if they are, now is the time to reassess what they will do next with the left arm. Dr. Simpkins was very pleased about how Clem has improved. Tomorrow looks like it may be a very exciting day. 
Thank you for all your prayers. Haven't looked at comments since Sunday morning, but I can feel the power of your prayers. God is continuing to work many miracles with our miracle man Clem. Praise Him, for He alone is worthy of our highest praise. To God be the glory. Blessings to all. DV

Praise God for performing His supernatural miracles! It's almost unbelievable as I read your update. Our prayers will center not only around his left arm and leg but also around his ability now to deal with his new life. What a testimony this experience is! Love to both of you (and Madi). Sending my suga' and tell him - dark purple nails if he doesn't behave!! :)
