Pa was sitting up in a chair when I visited today in the ICU.This is his youngest son, Micah, who has been by his bed since Fri nite. Phillip, his oldest son, will be transferring from Italy to Washington very soon to be closer with his dad. They moved him out of ICU this afternoon and to a regular Nero room. TOMORROW he will be transferred back to STMC Rehab in Winchester !!!!! My girls have been going nuts to see him. I took a close up picture of all the new staples in his head just to show them, they've been very anxious to recount them, he has even more this time. I turned the camera around to show Phil the shot so he could see his head, He said, yep, they done that. His speech is understandable to the family (most of the time) but others are going to have a really hard time understanding. I just hope everyone goes along and maybe he will not get to frustrated. We are just so happy to have him talking to us again ! Christy

Hi Butch,

So glad to hear that you will be going back to rehab in Winchester on Wed. That is definitely progress. The next step will be home. Wonder if I send you a get well card to STMC Rehab in Wincheser, if you would get it. I might get the zip code from Linda.

Love, Dannie
