Sunday Morning

This morning we'll go to breakfast, then drive over to the hospital again. We don't expect much change. He's probably healing and getting better internally, but until they do the tracheotomy and remove the breathing tube and scale back the sedation, he won't be alert. I hope they do that as soon as possible, maybe tomorrow.

We brought back a few change of clothes from Fullerton yesterday, and now those are washed and folded and waiting for him. I know he won't need them for a while, but I feel better that they are ready when he is. My two cats sniffed the pile of clothes I pulled out of the dryer, and I explained that they were smelling their Grampy and their two cat cousins. One of them sat on the pile for a bit.

This afternoon Ricky is flying back home. We'll both go back to work tomorrow. I'll be able to go over to the hospital twice a day, more if necessary. And I'll keep working on getting his house set up.

Hi Deborah and Rick,

I just went over to your dad's this morning to feed the cats and take in the bit of mail that was in the mail box. It's funny, as I was unlocking the door and entered I saw evidence of one of the cats. The rocker in the living room was rocking and nothing on it. I smiled knowing that it was one of the cats who freaked out and ran to hide. I fed them more food today and thought you should know that most of the mail was junk mail except for something from State Farm insurance.
Your dad, you, and Rick are in my prayers daily and I just want you to know that I certainly would want you both on my team. You guys are doing a wonderful job caring for your dad and his things. I'm sure he'll be forever grateful as many others in your family are. If there's anything you need this week, call or email me. God bless you!
