Hi all. It is 5:00 pm on MLK Day. Dad still hasn´t woken up but that is what the doctors want right now. He is still having some problems with his bowels. His respiration is good, he is on the lowest setting for the ventilator.
The kidney docs say that he will most likely be on dialysis for a few weeks but because he hadn´t had kidney problems prior to this, they expect his kidneys will fix themselves. Dad´s blood pressure is improving also.
Hav made it into town (she was actually early). Both she and I will stay with dad overnight. Both Bill and Linda are headed home for the night to rest. I´ll post throughout the night if anything major happens, good or bad.

It's difficult to hear of the setbacks, but also know how strong Dean is and pray for his continued strength & recovery. We know how hard it is for the family, so please let us know if there is anything we can do. In the meantime, our love goes out to all of you. Rollie & Richard
Hey Frazier and Haverly....you two are doing such an extraordinary job of keeping everyone informed. I know, all too well, how taxing it can be to be on patient patrol, so to speak -- it can be draining and exasperating -- and it sounds like you are all working at taking good care of yourselves. I hope that's true....
Sorry to learn of these new developments, and I can imagine the roller coaster effect of his good and bad days. Sending you all the good vibes I can muster!
Many, many thanks for keep us so well informed and your faithful devotion to a very good man. Even as Dean faces tough set backs along the way, I am with you in keeping the faith and a deep hope that he will ride through these challenges to a better place with a new lung.
Dean is in my thoughts and prayers.
My thoughts are with you all, as Dean works hard on healing and everyone else focuses their energies and love on him. All of Dean's colleagues here in Cambridge, MA send their best wishes, too.
Hi Grandpa it's Wyatt. We can't come and see you because I have pink eye on both eyes. I can't wait to see you! Love Wyatt
