Thursday:  Dave had some ups and downs today. He's continuing to fight the pneumonia, his temperature down during most of the day, but up again towards evening.  A piece of good news was his flawless MRI, showing no signs of vessel damage or brain swelling.  But he had to be put on medicine to support his blood pressure, and is under continued sedation, making it difficult to judge his mental condition.  We are continuing to wait and see, and are very grateful for all of your positive thoughts, prayers, calls and emails.

All our good thoughts from Norway. remember that David can sense more that you believe. Give him flowers to smell, play music and talk. Love to you all from Astrid and family

Hey Peter - I'm hoping Dave is lying there dreaming of comebacks to your jokes. Thanks for keeping up with letting us know what's happening. Thinking of you all with much love, Janet

Lots of Hail Mary's, which I think David would appreciate. You guys are amazing.

Thanks Janet. We're ALL hoping that Dave makes a comeback!

(Not even Jesus Christ could resist a pun "On this rock [St.Peter] I will build my church.")

It will certainly amuse Dave that the blog program is asking me to enter the word "smitic" to verify that I am not a spam-bot.
