I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Good update: Just talked to the ICU attending after rounds. She says his vitals all look good and his chest x-ray is totally clear. Over the next few days they'll be considering moving him off the vent to a less invasive form of support. No clear timetable yet, because they're still waiting for a lot of respiratory test results, but she said if he continues to look this good they may try him off the vent even before getting all the results.

That sounds really promising!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So glad to hear that, JZ!

Not at all glad to hear that, chrismg!

Dana, for you I prescribe cleaning the bathroom sink and/or doing the dishes in the kitchen sink. Not "cleaning the house," just that one thing.

JZ, sorry to hear about your father, but it sounds like whatever it is, they caught it early enough. I hope all the tests come back clear and he can start recovering.

Oh, thank you for the good update. Continuing to send the ~ma.

So Falwell is keeping Liberty University open, and Hobby Lobby is staying open because the owner's wife had a vision from God that they should stay open. This could end up like some kind of right wing religious darwinism or something.

Too bad they will keep breathing toward the rest of us in the meantime!

Meanwhile, I am still hiding out in the house. I did drive to pick up my son today, but I didn't get out of the car.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Oh JZ, so much love to you and health~ma to your dad. I'm glad they have a good prognosis at this point.

Trudy, I hope everyone is OK and you all recover quickly.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Hang in there, JZ.

We're all hoping it's allergies/some other bug. A test would be nice...
