Thank you. Michael is up now and didn't say the same thing as yesterday, but does want to go out to breakfast and grocery shopping with me. That is all good news. I hope things do semi consistently get better for him.
I notice from your profile, that your interest is in photography, Michael is an avid buyer, seller and collector of classic cameras. He does his thing on eBay a lot, although now much in the last several months.

Don't be disappointed if he has a few bad days mixed in with the good ones. It happens to all of us but with more time the bad days eventually give way to all good days.
