medical update for Wednesday, January 15

Whew!! Jay had another procedure to prevent brain swelling!! We've made it through this "minor" bump in the road and Jay is doing so much better. He's more alert and is asking to write.
It's amazing and very cool. He communicated with his colleagues who came to visit, which I think relieved his mind as he starting giving them orders. He breaks our hearts with pleas to rescue him ("free me"). All this with a pen! His healing from the stroke is starting to progress, and we're so thankful. Keep praying. It's working!!

  2. Dear Jay and Dawn,
    The extent of my medical training pretty much ends at "rub a little dirt on it" so I will not offer any suggestions.....
    :-)
    I am just in this evening from providing nine days of DOD support to the Inauguration in Washington, DC. I will provide a more detailed account the next time we are together for a lightly carbonatwd malt beverage of the adult persuasion. Or two.
    I've got to admit, you kind of shook me up a little here, Coach. I am praying. Fervently.
    Love to all,
    Cliff
