We celebrated Lindsay and Laurabeth's birthdays - they are such beautiful children - thank you Barbara and Randy.

They removed the ventilator from Ginger for a 10 minutes - she was able to speak for a few minutes - she recognizes that she is in the hospital, but not much more. Her lungs and voice box are inflamed, so she is on steroids to reduce the inflammation, and they will remove the ventilator ASAP.

Tom and Patrick - you are amazing - we love you so much. I will try to send pictures tomorrow.
