Not much to report

Neal is still in the hospital. My family helped us out a lot over the weekend. We have another grass cutters, my dad. He also got the garden prepped so Neal can plant when he gets home. My mom and Mike stayed at the hospital Saturday, which allowed me to have a night out. Neal placed a bet on the phone, but had no luck. Thankfully I was the big winner at the track, but not big enough to retire tomorrow. Ryan's parents made it over to see Neal, although he was pretty loopy. Denise and Austin came down Sunday afternoon and went straight to the hospital and are staying at the house overnight. I really appreciate all of the help and visitors.

Neal is eating fine and his oxygen saturation is around 93% without oxygen. We were able to get Neal up and moving around a lot. This morning we even got to sit outside and read the newspaper. The doctor wants him to stay until Monday. He has been taking pain medicine regularly, so I am hoping another night will allow him to not rely on that.

Hoping Neal gets out of the slammer on Monday. Sounds like he could get out on good behavior since he is eating well and MOVING. Glad there are so many great friends and family members to help you out Michelle. Glad you had a night out on Saturday. Wish it could have been enough to retire on! Take care!

Michele, glad to hear you got a night out and that Neal got some good visitors this weekend. We'll be rooting for a Monday release!
