I spoke with Ra Jette this morning just after 9 a.m. Yesterday (Monday) Delgean's eyes remained open while Ra Jette read an article from the Ensign. She looked around the room. The machines indicate an increase in heart rate and breathing when friends and family speak or hold her hand. All good indicators. The doctors are anxious to get Delgean going on rehab, which will likely either be at the Phoenix Children's Hospital or St. Joe's Hospital. They plan to put in a feeding tube today and are deciding whether or not they will need to put in a tracheotomy. In any event, while this will likely be a long recovery, inch by inch she is progressing.
Levi is home and is recovering. I had a chance to see him while he was sleeping on the couch yesterday evening. The swelling in his face looked to me like it had subsided a little from before the surgery. I had heard a rumor that someone saw him in Safeway. Turns out it was true. He went in to get some prescriptions filled. One of his baseball coaches informed me that the boys were anxious to have him in the dugout as soon as possible. Right now he is trying to recover enough to make the trip to Phoenix to see Delgean. There may be a picture of Levi posted soon.
