Update on stuff

Father’s eyes opened and he appears semi-conscious and responsive, but remains unable to speak; sepsis and kidney failure require dialysis. Head scans were normal; doctors planned breathing-tube removal under sedation, but sepsis leaves recovery and hospitalization uncertain. Daniel plans to stay until his father wakes; Japan is under two weeks away, while YouTube/ ASMR work and marital friction continue.

Optimism rises despite medical uncertainty, repeating a pattern of swinging between reassurance and fear.
