Hi Gang --
Stopped by late this afternoon to visit Vava. Ki was washing Vava's hair -- very complicated when you're in bed, hooked up to a bunch of stuff. It was pretty cool, though, the way Ki set it up, with some kind of basin under Vava's head, Ki using a pitcher and warm water from the tap, the basin draining into a container to catch the water afterwards. Amazing how practical things can get done if you're methodical enough.
Vava is in a new room, a MUCH bigger one. One of the walls is practically filled with cards already, and there are a whole bunch of cool balloons in there. Vava got a great framed picture from King and Jan today of a lot of the family, taken at Priest Lake sometime in the past, and Vava had me put it up on a shelf where she can see it easily.
As you may already have heard from Joan's e-mail, there weren't any results yet from Tuesday's biopsy. The doctor came by while I was there, and explained that "no news was good news" with this biopsy so far -- if they had gotten an early anomalous result, that would have said they were on the wrong track. They do expect to get conclusive results of the biopsy tomorrow, and that should indicate the next steps in treatment.
Marty arrived with some fried chicken, and afterwards Vava was going to be allowed (we hoped) to go in the wheelchair outside of the ward (which is STILL quarantined) to visit with some of her friends from school.
That's it for now. Oh, Vava and I discovered a mutual interest in trying to solve WHERE'S WALDO books. It's definitely a handicap to have 59-yr-old eyes. I'll probably get in to visit her tomorrow morning, but might not be able to post anything until late tomorrow night.
Peace to all --Denny
