Our last update for today. We were able to see Neil at 9 pm. He has been able to hold his own. We are excited because he has had the antibiotics for his lungs for 12 hours and 30 minutes. As you know he continues to be on the ventilator and this allows him to focus all his energy on fighting these infections. His blood pressure continues to be great without any medication to assist him. His temperature fluctuates a bit but the doctors are not greatly concerned about this. Just so all of you will know where everyone is staying, I will share this. Kenneth, Lucia, Jerry DuBose, and Jan are staying at Neil and DeAnn's. Reese will be returning to Montgomery tomorrow to be with Neil. Her office, ADRS, has let her work some at the State Office and we are so pleased with their concern and cooperation. Friday night Kenneth, Lucia and Reese stayed with our sweet friends, Teddy, Lisa, and their dogs, Joe and Lucky. We moved to their house as more of DeAnn's family came for the weekend. Many of you know Lucia's dog, Bessie, and she is staying with John, Jenny and our sweet young John. For those of you that know this family, this will make you smile. If you do not, please ask Lucia about this at some point. Reese has her dog, Roxie, boarded in Daphne. Now I have probably given you more information that you wanted, but many of you have asked. As you read this please say one more prayer for Neil's lungs. Love to you all from the Granthams and the Smiths.
