Cfelton, man that is truly a miracle. Very glad to hear he is doing much better. If he is anything like my late grandfather I'm sure he'll be fine. They don't make em like they used to. Some tough old codgers I tell ya. My papaw lived to 93 living at home alone (for the last 15 - 20 years) and only spent about 2 days in a nursing home before he passed on.
He had been doing ok but starting to show his age more and more. One night he got up out of bed and hit his head requiring stiches. He went to the hospital and it seemed like he was going to make it ok at first. I visited him there twice in the week he was there and he had gotten to where he could not speak or open his eyes or anything. I just held his hand and talked to him. Told him who it was and all. The last time I visited just 3 days before he passed, when I got there I held his hand and told him I loved him. After having several family members visiting each day and not speaking at all for days he said, "I love you too." in a weak voice, almost a whisper. Just before I left I did the same thing and he said it again! My mom (his daughter) and a couple other family members witnessed this and as far as we know those were his last words. He went very peacefully.
Sorry man, didn't mean to hi-jack and I wish all the best for your stepdad and I'm glad he is improving.
