Thank you, thank you, thank you!Very Duke Blue wrote:I visited with Christian today. He was very alert. He had been tv. His sprites seemed good. The nurse said he is improving every day.

Thanks DinK. Sam moved to California when he was in the 1st grade. This is his first winter (meaning it's more than a Christmas visit) in a cold climate. He is fascinated with the snow, and we've had a lot of it by eastern North Carolina standards this year.DukieInKansas wrote:CathyCA wrote:Snow video from my back deck:

I liked the other Sam R video of the little cutie sledding in the laundry basket.
Yay for D'Lise!DukieInKansas wrote:Thanks for the prayers for D'Lise. They are working. The surgery went well yesterday - no sign of cancer in the lymph nodes! Not sure what the treatment will be from here so please keep them coming.
I keep them head back that way for Christian and his family/friends/medical team.
VDB, you are so incredibly kind, and I know that your visit MADE Christian's day!Very Duke Blue wrote:I visited with Christian today. He was very alert. He had been tv. His sprites seemed good.

Vibes that when he gets released to acute rehab, there will be a bed for him at Moses Cone in Greensboro, so maybe more of his friends will come to keep him company, since they are all too busy
Our friend, Jim, had his surgery at Moses Cone. Bud and I were impressed. I wouldn't hesitate es.lawgrad91 wrote:Update on Christian: he is very mobile but still only saying one or two words at a time, yes, no, that sort of thing. Still has a feeding tube. Still in ICU. Hoping to move him to a stepdown unit today. They are planning for his release to a rehab, hopefully at Moses Cone's brain injury unit in Greensboro (or if not, another acute rehab), probably next week. Of course, insurance doesn't want to pay for any more than they have to and would prefer for him to go to less intensive rehab. Xe (
Thanks for all the vibes, prayers, good thoughts and concern sent his way. Keep them coming!
Tilly and VDB, thank you for going by the hospital.
That stinks! Shape them up LG! I'd visit if I could! Poor guy! He needs all the support he can get right now! Hugs from Iowa for him!lawgrad91 wrote:Christian was moved to the stepdown unit yesterday. It's on the same floor but the west wing, room 7.

Hooray!CathyCA wrote:I love it when Tarholes honor Dukies. Last night, the North Carolina Press Association honored Charlie Rose as "North Carolinian of the Year."
How do I know that a Tarhole honored Charlie Rose? Because the guy who presented the award to Charlie Rose is my second cousin, Les, a graduate of UNC. (Deep down inside, Les is a good guy. ;) His grandfather, my great uncle Les, graduated from Duke in 1927.) My cousin Les, his father and his grandfather have all served as president of the North Carolina Press Association.

Soon, very soon. Not sure how we go 1 week without a game this late in the year. If we had players who were hurt and worn out, it would be a great break. Now it just means I can't avoid doing the yard work.windsor wrote:YmoBeThere wrote:It is now March.
March? Madness!

We did see Ozzie and TalkLady in the bookstore and had a mini-reunion, and I got a Blue Devil bobble head to go with my Coach K bobble head. (My Duke paraphernalia is taking over a second shelf in my office and I am very happy about it.)
We also went to see Christian today. Still has the feeding tube, ge is saying complete sentences now. Keep the vibes and prayers coming; his sister is leaving tomorrow for a few days and there's a lot going on with him.
