Although he did not sleep much, Chris did have a good night. His numbers remain stable. He is still on Bi-Pap but I can tell he is stronger-his voice is stronger and it is easier to understand what he is saying. Today he is being allowed liquids-ice chips, drinks of ice water, and he just had some orange sherbet. Hopefully, he will doze during the day. They have had another specialist come in to talk to Chris and to evaluate what medications if any could be hindering his sleep. He will recommend to give Chris something tonight to help him relax and get sleepy. Carolyn, Lyland Bill and I will will be here in the hospital waiting room, but will go back and check on Chris every 2-3 hours in hopes he will dozing in between-we'll see how it goes. It is supposed to be warmer today and then the beginning of the work week will bring a mixture of rain and snow-I'm glad we only have to walk across the street to get to and fro. Have a peaceful Sunday-that is what we are planning. Mary Jo

We are so happy Chris is doing better. He has had quite a it of medication to keep him sedated while on the vent and that could be part of the problem. Don't any of you catch a cold up there without your boots. Take care and remember, our prayers and thoughts are with you. Love Dot and Annette
