Quick Update! Mike will be coming home from rehab tomorrow. AMEN! He seems to be doing better. I have a private aide that will stay with us for awhile until I get my bearings. He'll be getting oxygen connected to his machine at night as that seems to be helping and he wakes up more alert, although I'm not sure the Drs know why. I'll have to learn about that. I'm having an EMT friend of mine stay over and monitor him with a pulse ox and BP for a few nights to see if he can pick up anything. So as of now I think I have my bases covered although it's still a scary situation for me and I have to do some recuperating myself. Thanks for thinking of us and hope to report with some good news as the days go by.

Thank you for taking the time to post. I know there are many of us here that are very concerned and have been keeping both you and Mike in our thoughts.

And will continue to do so.

I'm glad Mike is coming home and that you will have some folks helping you get adjusted, take care to get some well needed rest yourself. God Bless and best wishes.

It is really great to hear from you. And it's comforting that you are mindful of your own recuperating. You will on my mind during the upcoming days and weeks.

Thanks Dori.
I am glad Mike is coming home.

And I am very glad you will have help at home to care for him.

Do let them do their job so you can rest and recover!

We haven't heard anything in a couple of weeks. I hope that Mike is home, doing well and that Dori is getting some well deserved rest and peace of mind.

We do love you Dori -- and are keeping you and Mike in our thoughts.
