Mayo

Mayo.

This is where we wanted to be all along, but now that we are here, it doesn't feel much better.

He is still in ICU - a cardiology ward. The new lines they put in make his blood pressure go up, and he doesn't say much at all. There is a new drug to try, but he seems to resist almost everything. It works a little - at this point 182 seems like a victory.

I do know that some of the kindest, hardest working people I know are nurses at this hospital. It's comforting, but not as comforting as watching Shark Tank with my head on his shoulder.

So good to get an update - wishing there was a magic wand somewhere. It's hard to be patient while they try to figure out where all the puzzle pieces go. It's easier to be the one in the hospital bed - I know this from watching my family too many times. If you're at St. Mary's - wander to the chapel. It's beautiful and a great place to pray, meditate, plead, cry, lay down on a pew where no one can see you. Need anything? A trip to Mayo wouldn't be hard. P.S. Buy a parking pass - it's cheaper, I swear. Love ya, J. Hang in there, Rico. The food at Mayo is terrible, BTW. xo

I love your commentary, it keeps me sane. We haven't tried the food yet, but yes, we are at St. Mary's. Thanks for making me smile.

Jana, I agree on the chapel at St. Mary's. And, we'll all be praying for you here. Please tell Rick that we are praying for him and will do anything to help. - David, Sylvia and Anders
