A Hole New, Judah

We've gotten Judah settled again. When I walked in after the surgery, Dr. Ahmad was in Judah's room loudly yelling at him to "WAKE UP." This from a man who terrifies the nurses when he simply whispers. Despite Dr. Ahmad's commands, Judah remains deeply asleep. He has subsequently been given additional pain medication in case he feels discomfort from the recent procedure.
The mustache that Judah has grown since intubation has a distinctive D'Artangnan flavor to it. He would look handsome if his mouth wasn't stuck open in "The ICU 'O'"
Mom bought Judah a new knit cap to wear that looks like it was left over from a 1979 macrame party. Very earthy.
Hilda and Al Ashley stopped by with more Pico Kosher Deli sandwiches. Even though the fresh brisket sandwich was delicious, there's something to be said about letting it sit out for 24 hours.
Will post more when news arrives.

Dear Judah -

Listen to the doctor and wake up!

If you don't wake up you will wind up looking the Rip Van Winkle with a long beard.

Feel better and keep on recovering.

Love, Uncle Robby

Now we can say, reverently, "Judah has holes in his head!" and it will be the highest compliment. Wake up Judah, we all want to know if you recognize yourself with the latest fashion facial hair!

Love and good wishes,
Andrea

Dear Whites,

Martha, congratulations on the PhD! That's wonderful.

Judah, keep trucking, you're doing great. BTW, George Clinton was sporting a goatee the other day and the right 1/2 was shaved off. I'm sure his mother is so proud! Yours most certainly looks better.

Love, Joanne Nach

White Family -

We're thinking about you all and are praying for Judah to wake up soon. Off to Pennsylvania tomorrow - We are bringing mom's computer and of course all of the cell phones. Look forward to hearing good news. Martha, Mazel Tov on your PhD! You deserve it!

We Love You!

Gaby and Jeffrey
