This morning, Mark took a shower. It was a bit of a produciton number: me and one of the nursing assistants, a walker, six drains and Mark all in the shower together. Although he got a bit pale towards the end, he was able to do the entire thing standing up. He didn't rest very well last night, but I think this physical exertion should help him take a nice nap.
I slept in the hotel for the first night last night. Since I was going to bed at 9:30, I figured I could get up at 5:45 and be in Mark's room when the docs rounded. I think I remember turning off the alarm, but when I woke up, it was 8 a.m. I guess I was tired.

Sounds like you need all the rest you can get to participate in shower time. Thanks for keeping us updated. Give Mark a big hug from the Fetters and One for yourself.

Party hats are required for the next shower! That is part of the Gene Glave's Rules of Life: "Two or more people in a shower require party hats and/or beer." Just fyi.
I love Gene's rule for party hats!
