"why did you throw out the Forbes?"

One day at a time, right? Michael was very good today. He had his bandages removed and a few of this IVs. Each day he is getting closer and closer to the norm. He's got some staples in his dome, but once removed, they will be unnoticeable when his hair grows in. In fact, we were excited to hear that......he's coming home TOMORROW (yes, SATURDAY!) Unbelievable!

As is his norm, Michael's spirits are great! His sarcasm is there, and his "nerve" is fine, i.e., he asked where a particular issue of Forbes magazine was, that he had saved. The issue had mistakenly been, ah-hem, put into the trash by his younger, very neat & clean, brother. Michael asked "why did you throw out the Forbes?" with look of disgust, as if he were asking "why did you shoot that poor raccoon?" (inside Darien cop joke). I smiled, said "sorry" and thought wow, he's coming along well.

Michael was able to see a visitor or two today, which was great for us all. He did tire as the day wore on, but stayed awake all day to entertain us. Shout out to ANDY BOLT, who kindly dined with us for dinner...

For those of you wondering, our family has lent us the healing assistance of Miss Madison Poisson, aged 18 months! Madison is the beautiful girl in the pictures on the right. She, with her wonderful family, have brought us a lot of joy and smiles over these last few days. We wouldn't have the strength we needed without them (and all of you too, for that matter).

So, tomorrow looks like moving day. As mentioned, he still would love to see friends and family as he recuperates at The Whyte House. Feel free to e-mail him (his "crackBerry" will be back in his hands soon), e-mail T.J., or call the house, if necessary.
