Lars is doing very well. He sat up in a chair for about an hour. He fades in and out of sleep. He says he's really tired.
We know that everyone wants to come to visit him and see him in person. However, when he talks, even for a short time, his oxygen level drops too low. We love to speak to him, but he really needs to rest right now.
If he continues to improve, he may be able to get out of the ICU tomorrow or Wednesday. When he is in the regular hospital room, we'll have visiting hours where you can visit with him for a few minutes. Until then, we appreciate your understanding that Lars needs to recover and get stronger at this time.

ReplyDeleteWe just heard of the accident. So sorry for Lars and his suffering and especially for the loss of his friend. Happy to read of his progress. Heavenly Father has certainly blessed your family. It's nice to see that everyone still has their sense of humor! Know that Joshua and I will have Lars and your family in our prayers.
