Good news!

As of yesterday afternoon, Da is awake and they've taken the tube out. They had put a scope down his throat but couldn't find anything out of the ordinary. The swelling had gone down enough, though, so they removed the tube and let him wake up. Ma said he was actually starting to wake up before they removed it, and that watching him try to fight the tube (kind of a reflex) was really hard :(.

They kept him in intensive care last night, and plan to move him to a regular room tonight. He seems to be all right now, but nobody ever knew what was wrong with him, so I guess they're all still wary. It's generally assumed that it was some kind of bad allergic reaction, but the cause remains unknown.

Anyway, what matters is that he's all right and he even called me for a minute today. I don't know when he's going to be going home, but now I can't go visit him anyway because I seem to have started a cold >_o. Poop. Of course if I did go visit him I would just get wibbly all over him :P.

So thank you, everyone, for your hugs and good thoughts. ^_^ *hugs back*
