We just returned from the hospital and Gary was about the same as yesterday. He seems to focus a little bit more, especially when he has his glasses on. He's still squinting his eyes as though he's trying to figure out what he's seeing. He turned his head a couple of times when he heard someone's voice. The docs are still talking of doing a tracheotomy on him maybe Monday and then he can be moved to a step-down unit for patients with trachs who are stable otherwise.

He's had over 113 e-mails and Mia has put them all on the wall, plus lots of pictures for him in case he wakes enough to see them. She plays music for him all the time (mostly jazz since that's what he loves) and treats him like a king! She's a dandy as Bill says. In case I haven't put in the e-mail address for the hospital, it's valleypres.org, then press Patient Relations and follow the instructions. Gary's room number is 110.

Thanks again for your prayers, calls, e-mails, and everything else. We ask that you continue to pray as each day looks a little more promising.
