A quiet couple of days

Besides all the bells and whistles from the alarms systems at Mom and Dad's going off (Patrick is in charge of fixing that), the last couple of days have been quiet. Dad had a couple of bronchoscopies done to remove gunk from his left lung. Because of these, they put him back on the ventilator just so he could rest a little and begin to work up the strength to get rid of the gunk on his own and also to be able to have the breath to talk.

We are hoping now that the long holiday weekends are over, all the docs and therapists will be able to get together and better assess things as a team. This will help to develop a game plan for therapy. We'll keep you posted.

Until then, prayers!

P.S. I bunch of you have asked me about leaving comments. i just changed settings so you can now comment (i think!) without having an account on google or anywhere else. instead, you can type your comment and then toggle down to anonymous...but, please leave your name in the comment itself or we won't know who wrote it.

This setting allows anyone to comment but it also allows more spam. Because of this, you will have to verify by typing the secret code word before you click "publish post." You will then get a message that it will be posted after it is reviewed. I will take care of the rest. Thanks so much for your patience!

  4. We will keep you in our thoughts & prayers for a speedy recovery. I had the pleasure of seeing Sari at a Chicago Region USY reunion last Monday night. It was nice to catch up with her & hear about her 3 children. She filled me in a bit on how you are doing, as does my father. Now that he has learned how to email he forwarded to me this blog, so that I could also send you a note. My mother has been in the hospital for about the last 10 days with pneumonia, so I know how crappy this hospital stuff is!! Wishing you a speedy recovery!!!!!! Sara Rosenfeld Coven & Family
