Well, he is "seriously cranky" according to Karen, so she says to tell you all that he's coming back! "Spewing" is the word she used for when he refers to a bunch of the stuff he's just been through. I told her, I think he's entitled to spew a bit.

He is off the vent. Still has the fever and pneumonia, but able to keep his pulse ox from 91-96% ...that's GOOD!

This time the personnel are being really nice, letting Karen is to visit on her 3am lunch break and all (last time they were really buggers about visiting hours.) She was just getting to sleep when I called; had been up and at it for about 25 hours with work and taking Michael shopping. Tris will be going over to stay with Connie and Wayne and they will all be there there for Christmas, sans Pat, of course. So, they are not going to have oyster stew because that is Spaw's speciality. Karen has Christmas off, so that's good, too.

She says to send you all her love and thanks. He knows we're all working on him.:-)

Now, breathe, please!?! All o'youse!
