Pop is doing better this evening. His vital signs are good and he doesn't have a fever. They have lowered some of the ventilator pressure settings and he is tolerating it well. He seems at peace tonight.
This evening at about 11:00 PM, I went to McDonald's and bought the ICU staff some food from the Mickey-D's Dollar Menu; 10 double-cheeseburgers, 5 chicken sandwiches, 5 chicken fajitas, and a bunch of salads and fixings. The ICU staff were very appreciative and expressed their gratitude. I wanted to recognize their professionalism and attentiveness, and express my appreciation for their support of my father. Thank you to the Highland Hospital ICU Staff.

The Topping family will stand out amongst the multitudes that they care for. Not just for the food that they provide, but for their level of involvement and the care that they take not to be unreasonable in their interactions with staff.
I know this because I'm an acute care nurse and I've gotten a pretty clear picture of the dynamics from Lance and his mom. We appreciate families like them - - and yes, the food doesn't hurt when we're without too many options at 3 am --- hmmm...leftover chicken or something yummy loaded with salt, fat, and sugar (the three essential food groups on nights).

BTW: Mr. Topping was more than just a childhood friend's dad. Our families grew up in the same church. My dad died when I was very young, and I interacted with and observed Mr. Topping more than any other adult male/father. I'm sure some vicarious learning of his parenting style took place. Count one more person on this planet praying for his speedy recovery.
