Our neighbor Gabe is making some progress and has moved out of ICU in San Jose. He might be able to come home midweek if the docs think it's o.k. For travel purposes his neck is not the concern, there are titanium plates in it to keep it stable and he only has a soft collar around it. There are other worries for such a long journey. In this type of accident there are always secondary problems - shallow breathing and the risk of pnemonia, fever, no bowel movements. A Caringbridge site has been set up and you can follow his progres here.
TOYH, Madster, 'Nika and I got out of town for a bit yesterday afternoon with some friends. It was nice to get a little physical separation from all the heaviness that's associated with what's going on with Gabe. We're back at it today with a bunch of friends this afternoon. We'll be trying to get Carolyn's house picked up for a possible mid week return. I talked to Matthew, Gabe's dad, on the phone for a bit yesterday. He sounds exhausted. He hasn't been getting very much sleep. I simply can't imagine what they are all going through.
