    There have been studies at Princeton that prove group focused thought (or prayer) can actually actually help in healing others. The more the better. So maybe go into Facebook groups and try to recruit more people to give focused thought or prayer to help him. I will send focused positive energy now.

    Thank you guys for the suggestions and incredibly sweet support! I appreciate it so much! You all are awesome to take the time to give me encouragement.

    My dad is doing a little bit better today. Still in intensive care but we're seeing some progress! If it's not too much trouble, please keep him in your prayers.

    Diva this is great news! I can only imagine the intense relief and hope you are feeling right now. My hubby was in the critical care heart unit for 12 days because a PE, developed after back surgery that went thru the heart and settled in his lung. Complications post surgery has made my hubby classified and agreed by workers comp as 100% disabled and his permanent 100% disability was finalized & settled legally just late last year after a 15 year battle. If I could put time back I would and one thing I did that I should have done before things went south was arrange to stay overnight. I did stay in his chair overnight but not until after I ignored several red flags. For me when things went south it was always on the night shifts. This may be irrelevant to your Dad's situation but if things go a little south, if possible find out what time it happened. If at night, take turns and stay with him. The nurses have a ton of patients to care for and sometimes,the day staff experience can differ from the night staff. Some staff are learning/training. Not all, but most patients sleep more during the night. Some are too sick too push that button. Others healing and improving, while dealing with pain, are really, really great at calling for help. A nurse can only be one place at any given time. Just watch for red flags and if you see them or hear something worrisome, like the batteries are just low and that's why the machine is bleeping, than prayer may not be all you need to do.
