From now on the nights are shorter and the days will be longer. Ron doesn't have much of an appetite, living on Jello and juice. He has taken two strolls around the floor (well stroll is probably overstating it, but you get the idea). He is down to just one tube, the mandatory hospital IV. Barring any new developments, he will be released tomorrow or Sunday, just in time for Christmas Eve at home.
The recovery will be many weeks, but physical therapy is impressed with his strength relative to what he has been through -- and his 'motivation'. All those years of swimming really have paid off.
David is sick with a bad cold, sore throat and swollen glands so he is quarantined at Roger and Kathi's loft. Ariella is holding the fort at home. She had good company this week with Sara, Mark and Judy. We are looking forward to getting home.
Thank you to all of you for your message, they really mean a lot.
Carol

Ari shared the great news about "the perfect Christmas gift" with me earlier this afternoon. Carol, I am so happy that the frustrating and scary parts are behind you and Ron (and Ari and David!) May this Christmas be especially blessed for your family.
Adam.
