There's a chair in the shower. . .

and O2 for power,
and rails that will help you hang oooonnnn.

One of the verses from Mike's CF song. If you haven't heard it go here.  Yes, it was a funny spin on CF but it came from real life experience. Mike was able to take a shower today. He said it was hard. He went off his oxygen and had to sit on the chair in the shower and rest.....soap in hair, sit and rest, rinse hair....rest. He said it is painful. His muscles ache from the lack of oxygen and being in bed. They will reassess him tomorrow to see if he can handle room air yet.

He doesn't know yet if his stay will be extended. Sometimes an extra few days on IVs can improve things and sometimes it doesn't really make a difference. Time will tell.

Mike is still having trouble talking on the phone for very long. He has to take his oxygen off to answer calls so this isn't a good idea. It makes him winded and cough more. He should be up for company late this week but we will keep you posted.

Here are a couple of pics I took on Friday.

This is the donate life mascot.
He (or she) was down in the cafeteria on Friday. Too cute! And please, do consider being a donor.

And these are some friends of Mike that came Friday. They didn't stay very long and they took the precautions and gowned up. Thank you!!
Thank you all for your continued prayers and support. Love, love, love.

Blessings to you!
