From a sisterly point of view...

I am home for a break and Dad and Mom are now at the hospital with Robert. He has had a stable morning and all the stuff they keep pumping in to him has sent his blood work and kidney function in the right direction as he preps for surgery.

He has great nurses and they have made me feel much more at ease - Robert is a tough cookie and was in great shape at the time of the accident and they say that will help a lot as he goes in to recovery.

Robert sleeps alot and wakes up occasionally to talk for a minute or two before going back to sleep. He is not allowed to eat or drink anything so I think his mouth probably feels like the Sahara. They gave him more blood today and he looks much perkier, not so terribly pale.

It has been a horrifying past two days and there is no way to explain the feeling of watching him go through this. We are encouaged by all your support and I want to encourage you to send personal messages to Robert through us as I know that would mean a lot to him.
