Catspaw update, I told Pat that since he couldn't hang around you catters, I was taking his place. I think he is going through mudcat withdrawal. He asked me what I thought of you guys and I really couldn't find the words to tell him what you have given me this week. Pat was sitting up twice today, his O2 is at 97-100%, and all vitals are good. He and the doc decided one more day on the vent would allow him to be even stronger so tomorrow should be the day. I spent the day by his side and we both did some napping. I also spent a lot of time making to-do lists. I never do the things on the list, I just make the list. I'm not worried about the little things, they'll all fall into line. My focus is to give our catspaw the best I have to give and bring him home healthy and happy. All equipment at the hospital has to be approved through engineering before use. I waited two days and when Rachel(wonderful nurse) found it had not been approved she called them. They told her it was an illegal piece of equipment and could not be approved. I decided to break the rules and she decided she didn't see a thing and Catspaw got his music. I will remember forever the love and prayers you have sent our way. I will be home every night now to visit and bring you continued good news. forever close to my heart, "K"atspaw
