Tuesday, May 5

Feliz Cinco De Mayo:

Carefull to all you out there celebrating this reason to drink cerveza and margueritas.

Now my guess when you are in the ICU there are probably a few people you don't want to see, the case manager and the discharge specialist, unless of course the patient is prepared to say Hasta La Vista, Baby! And in this case we are not.

Tomorrow me, Riley, May and Jim will take a tour of one of the facilities which may mark the next stop on this very turbulent train ride.

May remains hopeful and I am trying to follow her lead that Dean will wake up and begin to smell the aroma of the coffee and as I would say: "Time to piss or get off the pot". Yeah, now would be a really good time for that.

Jennie the nurse from yesterday placed a picture of Dean and Riley on the ventilator and Dean appears to be staring at the picture and attempting to grab at it or just feel it. He is also raising his hand to his face and touching his eyes, nose and lips.

I think I am getting car sick from the train ride.

Hasta Luego..................

Teri,

Your Uncle Jim asked for prayers and pointed us to your blog. We've been through some similar, very scary medical times ourselves. It helped me to know how many people around the world were praying for us. I hope you find comfort in knowing there are manny of us praying for you, Dean, and Riley - and God answers prayers. May God bless you guys, provide you strength, healing, and comfort. We'll keep praying in Jesus name! - Jim

You are doing great Maria. Keep up the good work! You are one of the strongest and bravest people I know. Come on Deano, every little step makes a differance. Keep moving, before you know it you will be back in the groove!

Hey Teri, Checking in, sending our love to you guys. Give Dean and May a squeeze from us too. I know right where you're coming from with the water spill. When that stuff happens now, it irks. The boys and I had to fix something solo and then we did a little dance just because we could do it. You hang tough. We're thinking of you all and sending very best wishes.

Hey Teri,
Thanks as always Teri for keeping us updated. I know I sound like a broken record with this but, you'll never know just how much we appreciate it. Following Deano's baby steps back to us. I hope it helps you by letting us know. Tell us what you can. Tell us what you're willing.
You have a wonderful family. You have wonderful friends. You have people like me that you don't know that are pulling for Dean. Pulling for you and Riley. We'll keep praying and sending out good thoughts for you and Dean.
I really like the lyrics that help us know how you're feeling just then.
Dean's old friend and your new friend,
