update from Julie:

wednesday 2130h:

When I arrived at St. John's today, David had had a long and wonderful shower, shaved, dressed, and been on a recon mission all over the hospital in his wheelchair. Needless to say, he was feeling pretty darn pleased with himself. They will not be sending him back to St. Michael's, as they are not overly worried about his lung infection. He had some assessments today and everyone is amazed at how well he is doing considering how sick he was. I will be checking out of the hotel tomorrow and have a ride to Barrie. Thanks again for all the offers of help. Visiting hours at St. John's are 12:00 to 8:30 p.m., by the way, for anyone wanting to visit.
