    Well today we all including the wonderful staff were smiling a little-her oxygen level continues to rise and her temp. dropped a little more.It is strange how the terrible becomes routine-When I walk into the ICU unit I look at the monitors to see what her oxygen/blood, breathing and blood pressure rates are. As I suit up and put on my gloves and mask I ask the attending nurse how the latest X ray was and the PEEP level of the respirator. A week ago I knew nothing of these terms or what the numbers meant. Now I ask as casually as I would if I asking for cream in a cup of coffee. It is surreal. I am looking at ( this a wild guess) thousands of dollars of trained professionals per hour in the ICU, millions of dollars worth of equipment and medicines. In one ICU in a hospital that 4.

    Thanks everyone
    Candy is sedated and on a ventilator which sounds worse than it is. This allows her body to rest and the machine actually forces more oxygen and medicine into her lungs. Her temperature is normal and the bacteria count is dropping . It will be a long journey however I feel more hopeful than yesterday. In speaking with the ER and ICU nurses this is the beginning of a Tidal wave of Flu to Pneumonia cases. By midnite they had admitted 5 other patients all under 55 with the same problem, Get your swine flu shots and stay on top of anyone feeling sick and not wanting to go to the doctor. Thanks to all our extended family! Love Bob and Candy And the road goes on forever.... BobbaLee

Black Friday upon us again indeed. Sooo sad to hear bout all these people outta work, this normal people included. You will keep your job!! You will keep your job! You will keep your job! Keep the faith bro!. And strong job-keeping vibes to you. Two guys here already offed themselves when their companies failed-the guy from Ratiofarm, and forget what the other one was, so Black Friday ain't so wrong to say nowadays. Something like 100,000 workers dumped out jobless in the past couple of weeks here. IT'S GOTTA STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ********************************** Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone, you will still exist, but you have ceased to live.

my bro was admitted to the hospital today. hes been vomiting all week, and so he went to the doctors. they drew some blood, and when they got done, he passed out for around 5 minutes. our family doc, a great doctor who has an instinct for this type of thing and is one of the best doctors ive known said that my bro should get to the ER, and so we took his advice. they still dont know what is wrong with him, and he is on IV fluids while they are doing tests. PLEASE send some good vibes his way. we are all freaking out and need some calming vibes.Peace, The Kid

Had appendix out may 2007, and was no big deal, really. Use laser scope surgery now, and only have 2 teeny-tiny scars. Felt kinda yukky for bout 3 days after, but after that was quite alright.

Hey everyone. Around the time that tickets were about to go on sale for the spring tour, my father's cancer took a turn for the worst. We expect him to leave us any day within the next two weeks. Its been really tough, but its been nice seeing family members coming together. Some I haven't seen in twenty years. The tour is one thing keeping my spirits up. I am going to Shoreline, maybe to the LA Forum. My first time seeing the boys since 1988 (when I was in high school), and I'll be flying in to Cali from Houston. I've been listening to the Dead a lot lately, guess because there's lots of bitter sweet tunes and the band certainly knows about dealing with the loss of a loved one since their early days. Good vibes and prayers to all others going thru hard times.

I think now that our president is Obama, things will get turned around for the better, its not going to happen over night, but with in the next year or two things will get better. Its great to not only have a democrat for president, but a dead-head president. Anyone got any good art work of what Obama mite look like dressed as a dead-head?Phatmoye
