update

Good morning!
  Just a quick update as I head over to the hospital this am. The computer didn't work here last night at the hotel.
  Bob was feeling so much better yesterday, especially in the am. The PT and a woman that is something like a liason between patient and MD told him that they would clear him to be discharged. Unfortunately, they  said this without speaking with any docs and really got his hopes up. 
  Bob has been running a low grade fever  and they did identify  the infection in his sputum. When the surgeon came in, he said there was no way Bob could be released when he is running a fever so we'll try for a Wed. release. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT! He also lobbied hard for a room but none are available.
  Well, I've got to get ready and over to the hospital. Thanks for hanging in there with us.

roseanne rosannadanna says "it's always something!"

but the somethings are getting less and less and less serious, so that's awesome.

Laurie - A special thanks from us to you for all you have done. We know how hard and taxing it is to be at the hospital like that.

Bob- Breathe Deep and Walk. We want you to get out of there so you are not exposed to any more germs.

We love you both.

Joe, Lucy Maggie, Kevin and Jenny
