4/16 morning report

He woke up, he's groggy, but he's more responsive. He can squeeze my hand when requested. He can talk a little - mumbly, but music nonetheless. "What kind of DVD should I buy? Yu-Gi-Oh." He answers on a 4 second delay (kind of like a radio shock jock). Good stuff. He's mostly back to where he was last week.

He has dialysis this morning, so any pre-noon visitors may have to wait with us in the waiting room. We'll see whether that makes him more or less lucid. Probably less.

This afternoon, we're scheduled for a grandma exchange. Two grandmas enter, one grandma goes back home. (Shades of "Mad Max, Beyond the Thunderdome").



FYI - the longer status reports are written at midnight, which explains a lot.

Larry, I couln't believe it when they sent out the first e-mail telling us about Jacob. I read the updates every day and can't believe you are actually going through this. At least you are hanging on to your faith and that is very important at a time like this. Jacob is in my prayers and I ask for a speeedy recovery.
My thoughts are with you and your family at this very difficult time.
