Thanks, Shawn, for Helping Cyd

Thanks, Shawn, for taking time out of your busy schedule to go to the hospital and take Cyd and her mom-in-law out for lunch. She said: "Shawn is just a fine man. He was always such a kind person and we really appreciated him." Besides that, Dad and I appreciate your thoughtfulness as well. (She also couldn't get over Brigitta being so old.:))

When we got to the hospital this evening, Mike was glad to see us. Though he cannot talk, he can grip your hand and he looks right at you. I think that he is doing better. He will not be out of danger until Monday evening. But he can say no. He can shake his head yes and no. He is able to eat pureed food and seems to enjoy it. He sat up and stood briefly today with the physical therapist there. He can also follow directions. That is probably the most important. Tomorrow they are doing another CAT scan an then Cyd will know more. I am encouraged. When Auntie Eva had her stroke she was also not able to move her one side and she also lost a lot of her speech. You would never know it now. Once in awhile, when she is tired, her speech gets a little slurred but not often.

Tom and Laurel traveled to Provo to visit and Charlotte called. Mike's brother from Idaho is there and his sister. Her name is Leslie Monson. Her husband teaches Institute at UVU. Mike's two kids are there and are staying nights with him so that Cyd can go get some sleep. Terri Fox, the daughter, lives in Price and David, the son, lives in St. George.
