Friday March 28 10:00 AM

Bill is still breathing on his own and doing well. Watching a little TV but not really interested. He now sits up three times a day in a Ortho chair for one hour each time. This seems to be really helping him regain strength.

1:00 PM
Nurse Ellen says he is on the waiting list to be moved out of ICU. I ask will it be by the four o'clock visit....she says maybe by Monday.

3:34PM
Nurse Ellen calls Bill has a room (683) and will be moved in soon. Great news.

5:30PM
Bill seems tired from the move. Does not want to write or play.

However he squeezes the doctor Eiserwirth's hand with his left hand. Doctor also sees slight movement in the left foot. I cannot say that I have seen any as yet.

7:30PM
Bonnie, Mike, Lauren and Ryan came to visit. Bill is suddenly rested and wants to play.
They brought a CD player with ear phones and a Tower of Power CD. He seemed to enjoy the music. But oddly seemed also to hear every word we were saying. He was throwing the ball to all of us. Fanning himself with the Alien frisby. Responding with head movements to any questions.
