Nothing special is good

Hi -
Thanks to all of you who have send so many cards, e-mails, and text messages to support us in this process. The clinic visit today was uneventful - which is great. If Rick's recovery continues on this good path, we visit again on Tuesday and then will be released to return to Tucson on Thursday, May 20.

Many of you have been asking when you can call to chat with Rick. Rick is answering phone calls when he has the energy to talk. He is very weak and has a quiet, hoarse voice because of the ulcers in his esophagus. He also sleeps a lot and the ringer is turned off during naps. So call if you want and he will answer if he can, but please remember to keep the calls short. Also, remember the three hour time difference and that Rick is down for the night before 9 p.m., Boston time. Thank you.
Sue

  1. I visited with Tricia tonight (her birthday), then rushed home to visit the blog. This latest news, good news...... I wept for joy. Now Rick has his footing, he's got a little traction, and slowly yes, but surely, he'll gather momentum toward wellness. That enormous will of his will kick in and each day will get better. I couldn't be more delighted. This strengthens my resolve to keep praying fervently for this remarkable man and his beautiful bride. I owe 'em, they gave me a fabulous daughter in law.
