We're at home in NLR. We flew in today since there wasn't much we could do at this point to help Gary. He's getting excellent care, both from hospital staff AND from Mia. Since she's a nurse, she knows exactly what to do for him and she exercises his limbs several times a day to keep them going. She said Gary seemed to be more alert today. He had the feeding tube moved from the nose to the stomach and that frees up his face for him to move around more and she said that several times today he's looked at her and squinted his eyes as though he's trying to focus and even turned his head toward some of the pictures that she's put on the walls.

We will probably go back at some point when Mia needs us most to help her and Gary. Right now she's just taking one day at a time. She's been overwhelmed at the people who are praying for Gary and sending everything from food to cards, e-mails, and even stuffed animals! Many prayer objects have been brought/sent in from all faiths and she appreciates them all.

Gary had a CT Scan today but Mia said that she had not been given the results. He gets a chest x-ray every day and the lungs are still clear. The fever is gone, but the doc is still trying to find the infection's location if it is still there.

Keep praying - let's not give up!

Thanks, Bill and Nancy
