Brian
He was much improved when I got to the hospital today. He had managed to walk across the room and out into the hall with the physical therapist and his appetite had improved. He was very touched by the e-wishes people sent (and you can send one HERE to Brian Berry in room 2-186). He is having trouble getting rest as the hospital nurses and staff are in his room poking him with one thing or another. He was running a fever later in the afternoon which worries me.

There is nothing restful about being in the hospital. Vitals checks, uncomfortable beds, noise, crappy food. Yuck. Sounds like things are going well, though. Hope the fever turns out to be no big thing. Much love to all of you!
