Dawn Again

Judah had a peaceful night. The oxygen concentration was down to 40-45% and his saturation remained stable. Mom showed up super early this morning (5:30 am) surprising his nurse and me. Poor Judes was getting a "bath" when Mom walked in.
Mornings and evenings in Duarte are really pretty nice. In the morning, there is still some residual heat from the day before that hints at the warmth the new day will bring. In the evenings, the wind is blowing a warm dry breath over us all. Green shrubs, plants, trees and flowers seem to have no problem growing tall and full out here. The city of Duarte is not particularly beautiful but the land sure is. City of Hope has loads of cotton-tail bunnies that come out when the light is dim. The wind, the rabbits, the crickets all conspire to create a dreamlike sense of peace and safety.
Stick around to see what the new day brings.

Mornin,
your writing sounds so peaceful, dotted with cotton tail bunnies and shakras...as does Juda's resting and healing sleep.
Will be collectively thinking of you as we gather at the La Merigot today. Might we be surprised with a visit Martha??
Wishing you a strong day.
Love, Ben G

Dear Whites -

The new day is going to bring good things.

Judah's blood pressure spike must have been some fright. I didn't know that a person's blood pressure could go as high as 250.

I imagine that at that pressure that at any weak spot in the vascular system, you begin to spring leaks. If Judah didn't spring any leaks (and I presmue that he didn't), then in Fireman's terms, he passed the sprinkler system pressure test.

Have a great day.

Love, Uncle Robby

Hey all...

Love to Judah and all the Whites from the Kukoffs -- Judah, just wanted to let you know that I visited Vegas lately and was forced to play my first-ever game of Texas Hold 'Em. I'll fill you in on the (thankfully, not too ugly) details when I come see you, which I hope will be soon; I miss our visits!

Be well, and wellness shall ensue.

David
