A very quick update for this morning. I spent the entire day with Bob yesterday! He was on the vent all day, after having been on and off the day before (a planned schedule) and he was much stronger and able to talk through his trach a bit. We read and watched some TV and he was generally in better spirits than he has been for a few days. We are going to watch at least part of the Super Bowl together tonight, but I will be with him for a few hours this morning and afternoon first.

We are still waiting on insurance approval for the move to the hospital in Richmond. Then we will begin the next step in his recovery. Keep thinking of us. The good thoughts and prayers are much appreciated.

Continued thoughts and prayers Elin. . .

Oh yeah... in case you wondered who we would be cheering for:

But as for this--you get no support! Go Packers!

It's entirely too quiet around here folks. I'm going to break the silence by shamelessly pimping myself.

You can check out my new DR here on the boards - link in my signature.

Or you can head over to www.disneydispatch.com and see my dining reviews on the site there under columns.

Sending good thoughts and strength out to Elin and her family.

Love the new review!

We just got home from our cruise! Amazing time except I apparently got scarlet fever! Why people get on a boat when they are sick like that I have no clue. I'm just glad we didn't do a back to back or I would be that jerk.

Remy was amazing. My only complaint is them not getting the coordinating napkin I've expected at many of the nicer places I've eaten at but that is a bit nit-picky I know.

I'm working on a trip report of that trip at the moment.

Hope everything is going well for you Elin

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Lots of good things yesterday. I hope when I get to the hospital this morning they continued all night long.

Bob got up on his feet (with lots of help and for only about 3 seconds) and sat on a chair yesterday afternoon. He also has stayed on the trach collar for over 24 hours... no ventilator for sleeping last night! The plan of action for today is to get him up and out of the bed at least twice and to try to wean him from even less oxygen through the collar. I can see rehab (or the acute care facility) in our future, finally.

Happy Valentine's Day, Friendies!

Great news Elin--baby steps! Thanks for sharing and Happy Valentine's Day to you, too!

Even more news to report tonight. Bob was transferred to the Kindred Hospital in Richmond this afternoon. It is the place he needs to be to move forward with his recovery, so even though it will be more difficult for us to get to him to spend time, it will be better for him. I will go down there tomorrow morning and come back to teach in the afternoon.

Ellen - When is the next DisMom's trip?

It is May 13-17th, we are staying at BWV in a 2 bdrm Boardwalk view- that we got at 7 months. We were shocked!! I think we just miss each other, right? But......next year, we are going on the May 6th Dream 4 nighter- so far Kara & I definitely, maybe my friend, Joan, and then some other Dispeeps are getting cabins....why don't you guys come?? The cruise is pretty reasonable, it's kind of an off time, I guess. We would have a BLAST!!!
