Justine, thanks for the news. I'm so glad it's good news. I hope Barry's recovery continues to go well. He has a strong spirit, and his body will soon be strong, too. Best wishes and hugs to both of you.

Great news Justine but I just can't imagine Barry being hoarse, tired, out of breath or even a mite short of energy. Please give him best wishes from Bonnie & Dan.

Is Barry up to having visitors yet? Please let me know as I'd really like to stop by Spaulding when he's feeling ready to receive friends. 978-985-2707. Thanks.

Had an e-mail from Justine today allowing how Barry's on the mend.

"Barry is not quite yet phone-worthy, but he is making such steady progress
that he's sure he will be soon. His voice took a beating from the tube, but
they assure him it is all reversible. H So, Barry is pushing them to let him come home this week, and finish his recuperationn here with maybe a hospital bed and some visiting nurses... Things are going swimmingly!"

Keep sending the positive energy - Tom

Can't wait to see him again and hear him belt out a chantey or two. Keep getting better, Barry.

Me too Mick. I check in here to look for only a few things and this is one. I was excited to find this thread back up in the daily but then I opened it and found the two of you. Very disappointing................I mean you and Sins are two of my very favorite people but I was hoping for a note from Justine!

Been thinking about you Barry.... Now you need to picture Dani and I in her rented Magnumn with the Hemmie engine. (Never saw such a guy magnet as that car..) Belting out songs with the Johnson Girls on the CD system and sending out all kinds of good energy. We weren't all that far away on 495 so it didn't have far to travel.

Here's hoping we'll get to see - and hear! - him before too long!!!

Some fantastic news tonight, Thursday. Barry is scheduled to come home tomorrow a.m. He had a visit at Mass General today and everything looked very good. Spaulding arranged some services for him at home, and he's been cleared to finish his recuperation here. We are thrilled that his ordeal is drawing to a close. All he needs to do now is rest and put some weight on.

Thank you all for your concern and support throughout - it really helped. It's over!

Yahoo !!!! Home is definately the place to be. But remind him there are hordes of Mudcat women willing to help you out if he tries to do too much too quickly. BG

Thanks, Justine - that's the news I was hoping to hear!!

(You do know that you're supposed to wake him up every two hours to see if he wants a sleeping pill....)

Seriously, that's wonderful news. Thanks so much for keeping us posted on his recovery, and I'm looking forward to hearing from Barry himself before too long!
