Not a lot of news today - CD's on the way to Mayo Clinic

Not much word out of Omaha today. Dad had a pretty comfortable night at the hospital, without too much interruption. He is markedly weaker on the left side - just hard to believe that he could go downhill so quickly with his strength from just a few days ago.

Mom got a copy of the MRI sent up to the Mayo Clinic, arriving tomorrow. I talked with the Neurology clinic today and left word with the doctor that it was on the way. Hoping to hear from him before Friday when I travel, but knowing how this works, he'll call just as the flight attendant is telling us all to turn off our portable electronic devices and cell phones.

For all the Catholics out there - if anyone knows of someone that can administer Communion daily, Dad is really focused on this right now. We're working with the hospital and rehab facility, but it's not something that we can arrange with much confidence. It really brings peace to Dad (and to the rest of us, as that's all he can focus on until it happens). If you know of anyone that can help out, please call Mom or send us an email. Thanks! I'm going to try and get in touch with Father Dan at Dad's church to arrange for this as well. . .

Not much else to report yet. Mom is still at the hospital, so I likely won't talk to her until later tonight. If anything of substance about Dad's condition results, I'll update the blog. Otherwise, likely tomorrow or Thursday will be the next update.

Thanks again for all the thoughts and prayers. If you could work on warming up the weather to the low to mid-60s instead of 40s (!!!!) in Omaha this weekend, that'd be great.
