There are places in St. Francis Hospital that I can connect to the internet wirelessly and others where no such connection is available. I am back at the apartment now. This is the latest news:

Sue is doing well. She walked a lot today, ate well, and when I left was midway through her second immuno-globulin infusion. Kim called early in the evening to report that Den made the trip from Lebanon, NH, to St. Louis just fine today. He was very, very tired, and it was a trip that would tire a well traveler--three hours by car, two hours waiting at the airport, three hours inflight, and another hour getting from the St. Louis Airport to the physical rehab center at St. Mary's. Needless to say, Den was exhausted. He is settled in now. Kim says his intensive threrapy will begin on Monday, and visitors can come when things settle down some. In the meantime, anyone wishing to inquire about Den should contact Kim. She is acting as the caring go-between until Den can do so for himself. Both Kim and Aaron deserve purple hearts for the courage and perserverance they have shown in helping their Dad through these last two-plus weeks.

Sue was tethered to her IV so could not go to a part of the hospital where she could call Den. As a substitute, she had son Chris call Den's nurse, get an up-to-date report and call her back with it. Sue is much relieved to have Den safely housed where he can get the intensive help he will need to be back on his feet. She herself sees two therapist every (normal) week at St. Mary's for her own physical therapy and so knows just how excellent the facility is and how caring are the therapists.
