Chris had a good, quiet night. The nurses continue to turn down his medications. He is not receiving any diuretics, but the nurses still"chase" his potassium level. His chest x-ray has looked the same for the past several days-much improved from the ones (they did 7) on Friday.
Carolyn ,Lyland and I went into Hobby Lobby yesterday and all purchased some needlepoint to do-it is not as nice as the needlepoint we get at home, but it will do. Today, as long as Chris is stable, we will drive to the Minneapolis Airport to return our rental car. It has been nice having one, but the cost increased dramatically when I had to add another week to the contract. Bill is happy to drive us where we need to go, when they leave, most everything we need is just a short walk from the hospital, we can take the shuttles or if need be get a cab. Rochester truly caters to the visitors of the clinic. I was able to contact all needed parties concerning my backpack which is a great relief. The staff here at the hospital are still just sick about it. We talked to several families in the waiting room-they wanted to see the needle work we were doing-they too could not believe that someone stooped so low to steal from a hospital waiting room. I have gotten past being upset-I made a mistake and have to deal with it, but support from others is always nice. Well, have a good election day. Keep the thoughts and prayers coming north, I know they are working! Mary Jo

Always good to hear good news from "up north". Chris seems to be getting stronger and, one step at a time, will heal. Glad to hear you have "distractions". That is very important for those that wait. Thoughts and prayers coming your way.

Hi Johnson's,
May today be filled with only good news and continued healing.
Love and prayers,

I'm so glad that you have things around that can be distracting, I can't imagine how it would be but at least you have some family to visit with and distractions to keep your mind on other things. Glad also, that Chris is doing better and things seem to be back on that upswing. You seem to be handling the rough patch and thats the best we all can do and Chris is doing his best to get back inshape to be assistance to you in the future. May all the electioneering not get to you as it has been getting to us.... Take care and can't wait to hear more great news as the days progress.
It is a little gloomy here in Lexington...we hope it isn't an ominous sign of election outcomes. We are happy to hear that Chris is making steady progress. Our love to all in Rochester and Allison and Emily too.
XOXOXO,
Carolyn and Reid
I continue to think about Chris and hoping for more good news about his progress.

We'll keep the prayers and thoughts coming!
