Progress Last 24 Hours ~

My husband has made excellent progress in the last 24 hours. He was able to get up and walk 3 times, eat some ice chunks, and have a bath. Perhaps later this afternoon they are going to remove him from the step down unit into a permanent ward. Today, when I spoke with the nurse from the step down unit she said; would you like to speak with him - I said sure. Gary and I were able to have a few words. Gary wanted to know how I was doing building fires, snow shovelling, and keeping the heathens at bay. I did not want to elevate his blood pressure so I just told him, I am doing my best, everything was ok.

And, that is what it is - just ok. I am on the curve of learning as Gary is the fire builder. I do shovel much snow and I really should be out there doing it but I would rather be here.

All my Prine friends had a great time in Milwaukee. They bring a big smile to my face, reading their posts. You can read them at www.jpshrine.org . It is such a John Prine family we have, I am so very glad to have found them. It is very heart warming to have such treasures - of course, like the man himself, John Prine.
