Another Week

Greg continues to improve, but the docs say he'll be here about one more week. He's still really weak. He can't stand up by himself, although he can shuffle along a little once he's up. All the blood tests are looking OK, although Our Hero did decide to start running a low-grade fever as of last night. They don't have a cause yet (or even a working theory), but no one seems too terribly concerned about it right now. He's been receiving every antibiotic known to man for the last 2 weeks, so he's covered. I'm here for the weekend, but plan to go back home tomorrow. We've been watching football, but Greg managed to sleep through most of the Wisconsin game. It was that kind of game. In an effort to give him incentive to do his exercises to get home, I bought him a get-well present:

Its a 1977 Triumph Spitfire. I bought it off e-bay, and its in Menasha, Wisconsin. The seller offered to drive it to Greg's sister's in Madison. After that, we'll figure out how to get it here. I wanted a red one, but none were available. Not exactly a practical family vehicle, but, what the heck -- he's always wanted one. Its a little more sporty than the mini-van. Needless to say, Eric is pretty excited, too.

Other than that, there's not much to report on the medical front. Just waiting for him to get stronger. This illness really knocked him for a loop. But, he's recovering, which is the most important. I'll update mid-week.

Thanks to all, especially Tom & Julie for dinner Thursday and taking care of Matthew for the weekend. I really don't know what I'd do without you guys!

Love,

Ann & Greg
