Wednesday, August 3
Had my usual Wednesday morning conversation with Mother. Joe the blessed dry cleaning deliveryman was just leaving. One more person who watches out for Miss Polly. She sounded good—took a nap yesterday, slept all night last night, had cheese and a tortilla for breakfast. She says this afternoon is when all Daddy's docs and caretakers—nutritionist, therapist, cardiologist— will meet to put together a progress assessment, prognosis, recommendations and general where- do-we-go-from-here. The social worker will give Mom the report and talk it over with her.

Got a call from Nancy and Joanne Bondy, wanting to know if they could visit Dad in the hospital or would it be better to wait until he got home. I said I didn't really know. Thoughts? xxoomm
