Update- Thursday Afternoon- February 12th

First, thank you Amy for your kind words (see next posting, below) and the wonderful slide show (the third picture to the right, under "Bob's Adventures"). Folks, to better see the slide show pics, use your "zoom" button. They're much easier to view that way!!

As for Bob, he enjoyed his first full night's sleep last night, away from the buzz of ICU. He slept well, but brother Bill didn't because all the darn monitoring machines kept malfunctioning! He and the nurses must have responded to about 20 false alarms while Bob just snored the night away. He felt well enough this morning though, after the good night's slumber, to see his father-in-law for the first time since being admitted 9 days ago. Visitors are still restricted tho, because, although he is improving, he still has a long way to go and he must conserve his strength for the skin graft surgery, and to allow his body to recuperate. (I know, you English teachers! That was probably another of my infamous fractured run-on sentences!!) After seeing all the cuts and scars and holes in him, two things are known for sure: He's gonna leak every time he drinks a beer and he'll have a heck of a time getting through airport security!! He has enough staples in him to open his own stationary store!!

Well, that's it for now. As we've been saying for the past couple of days, no "new" news is often good news.

With continuing thanks,
