Call from Anna (social worker at hospital)

I got a call from Anna today and she said that Dad was reading the paper! She said the IV is out as he is healthy and he is calling the nurses by name. There is no agitation at this point. Man. is this ever a roller coaster ride. Two days ago I was preparing myself for the worst, but now I don't know what to think. My first reaction was to leave right away to go and see him, but I thought he might be different by the time I got there, so I changed my mind. I'm at work today.
