Patience ... please

Layne is still in the hospital and is improving.  The kidney functions are improving, but the fluid in his lower limbs is increasing.  His breathing is pretty good and his blood sugar numbers are good.   I  feel almost like a meteorologist at 11 pm.

His spirits are good and we are hopeful that he will be home soon.

I heard Tim Russert talking about the passing of Hamilton Jordan tonight.  Jordan wrote a book entitled,  "There's no such thing as a bad day."  Russert explained that the way the title was obtained was that former Presidential aide Jordan met a young boy who had brain cancer and said to the boy,  that it must be a bad day for him.  The young boy retorted, that as long as he could breathe, there was no such thing as a bad day.  

So despite all of the tsorus and stuff we have gone through in the past week, we are very assured that there is no such thing as a bad day.  Your prayers and best wishes are appreciated.
