Doreen,

Thanks for the note. For me, it's a different set of issues. My wife is there, dealing with the immediate problems, and I'm 850 miles away wishing I could help with the day to day stuff. Still, my issues are small compared to theirs or yours.

She is improving daily in terms of post-surgical recovery and is adjusting to the feeding tube better now. The trach will probably come out next week at her next check up.

Thanks, again,

bob
