Sunday Evening

Hi all,

Not too much to report today, Dad is still in ICU but doing well, we're encouraging him to eat more and more and they have him doing lots of lung exercises. I'm on my way back to Chicago tonight but we will continue to keep you updated as often as possible, especially once he does move up to the new floor. His heart is still fibulating on occasion though as before it was expected. I would imagine that until that gets under control he will stay down here where he can be monitored more closely.

We'll continue to keep you posted.

Thanks
Haverly

Dean, Bill and Family,
What great news on both the transplant and the recovery! We are looking forward to seeing you up and around and hope to be able to pay a visit in the coming week. We're sure that the next challenge will be the half marathan in June. Our love and prayers.

Please let us know when "visitors" are allowed. Thank you so much for keeping us up to date on Dean's progress. Dean we are pulling for you and imagine you will have a "name" for your transplanted lung soon. Love, Bill and Susan
