Friday Morning Early

Day 8. This just in from Mikele this morning: Bob slept at home last night for the first time since the accident. We're both looking pretty ragged - I have dark circles under my eyes for the first time since Dorothy was a baby!! But I slept like a baby last night - not one bad dream, not one wakeup. Bob said the procedure to remove the bolt went really well, and Dorothy stayed awake with him for a while afterwards. As he read to her, she squeezed his hand. I think she's really happy to be back from wherever she's been. We're heading down to the hospital in a few minutes and if there's any more good progress, we'll update. Something of interest to note: both of the last two days, we've seen the most activity starting at 7 p.m. Tam reminded me that Dorth has always been a night owl! And before I forget yet again...

THANK YOU to everyone, for your cards, your visits, your love and your prayers. They have really helped to sustain us these last days.
