I talked with their nurses this morning and have an update on the folks.
Dad: Doing well - he's been in a lot of pain but they are finally getting it managed. He's still cooperating with getting up and moving a little bit and doing his deep breathing. He's still out-putting blood and fluids from his chest tube so that will stay in for a while longer. Once that stabilizes they will be able to operate on his hand.
Mom: Is apparently the comedian of the trauma unit - her medicaiton and personality have created a monster! Other than being funny - she's doing well - no real changes. This nurse says they are still trying to avoid the surgery on her wrist. No news is good news, right? ok - well, maybe not - but right now it is.
Many of you have been asking what you can do for them. Right now cards are about all that can be sent to the trauma unit. NO FLOWERS or PLANTS, NO BALLOONS. Neither are eating much so food is also not a good idea yet.
Their mailing address is:

Still no word on Gretchen. Sweetie Pie is going to her old vet in Midland today and then Ben and Mel will take her to Winday Acres, aka Club Med ;) the old kennel my parents used to use to board the dogs.
Thanks for thinking of all us - we appreciate it!
Hugs and love!
