Ginger is breathing on her own with backup just in case. Close monitoring of her blood pressure is in place. As the acute phase of Ginger's hospitalization is ending, the doctors and nurses are trying to get Ginger to respond -- if they only knew what they might be in for! Mary, Tom's sister, and Richard, Ginger's brother and girlfriend Mary came to visit from a far. Doctor's are asking for family visitors to be as quiet and gentle as possible -- no small feat given the families. Patrick and Tom are camping overnight with Patrick's fellow Cub Scouts tonight.

Beebs, Kate, Mom, Rich et. al., Mary, Carrie, Lenny, Pat, and the usual suspects had a dinner vigil in Southie -- prayer, wine, and fabulous food!

Your prayers and thoughts continue to help us in this trying time-- to prevail with patience, hope and love.
