We came to Chicago early yesterday morning on a nonstop SWA flight from Manchester, NH. We peeked in at Den before we left. He has yet to have the ultrasound to determine how well the shunt is working. He is to have that this morning. He has been moved out of the critical care facility into a different room, probably because someone sicker needed that space.

Kim is with him and will return home today. I'll be in touch with her and with the nurses' station and with Den off and on. Rose and I fly back to Manchester tomorrow afternoon. The report this morning is that Den is still pretty swollen. We'll know more later in the day. I surely hope we can move Den to St. Louis later this week.

I am having lunch with Den's Chicago colleage today to discuss his job, benefits, etc. Yesterday Rose and I went over to Schaumberg where Den's apartment is and picked up some things. We were only lost three times during that trip. Traveling from Rose and Shirley's apartment over to Schaumberg is sort of like going from St. Louis to Columbia time wise, although the distance isn't that great. TRAFFIC! Right now the plan is to rally some volunteers to empty Den's apartment over Thanksgiving weekend.
