Wow What A Day!!

Patty says: WOW WHAT A DAY!! my 3:30 wake up call from the hospital was a true nightmare when you have a brain injured husband fighting every day for his life. The doctor said"Your husband has taken a turn for the worse. We are intibating him again but he does have a pulse. I was so scared and hoped with my life that he would survive this latest crisis. By the time we arrived the breathing tube was in and he looked good. The nurse told me today that they took 3 golf size balls of phlegm from him. No wonder he could not breathe! When Brian and I went up after school he looked good and we are back where he was weeks ago. He was VERY RESPONSIVE, MOVING AROUND AND LOOKING AT ME AND MAKING THE CUTEST FACES. He is trying to talk through the tape. What a roller coster ride huh? Hopefully it will be onward and upward. I want to take this time to thank you all for your loving support. We could not get through this without you! Thanks to you all who have sat with him through his dialysis and held his hand when I was not there. Thanks to the President of Walters fan club-John and Co-Presidents-Kelly, Tom and Geno. I love you all!!! You make this ride easier for me. Thanks to my kindergarten friend who has called me every day to see if I was ok-my sweet Joanne, I love you. Thanks to all the wonderful cousins who I love so much and was so lucky to marry into such a wonderful, loving and caring family. I love you all!!! Till tomorrow-Patty

You are so right Pat. Walt is taking a Roller Coaster ride. I just wish it was on the kiddie coaster instead of the Viper.

Katy and I cannot even imagine what you are going through. We left for several days, and Walter was doing better. When we returned and reviewed the notes on Walter's progress, it was strange to see the roller coaster that Walter has been on lately.

You, Lindsay, and Brian continue to be in our prayers. We hope and pray that Walter will finally begin to get well and be able to go home, and again enjoy his family.

With God's Blessings, and our love,
Don & Katy
