Heidi visited with Mom last night and I just called the ICU. Mom is making progress except for a lack of appetite. The staff says that she won’t make any more progress unless they can get some proteins into her. She took three bites at lunch, but that’s all.

I just happened on this quote, which I believe applies to the current raft of lefty (my friend Pat Barrett is more blunt; “commie pinkosâ€) Democrats serving in the Senate, House of Representatives, and the ultra-liberal media:

I spoke with Mike twice last night and again this morning. I also spoke with Heidi who gave me the same information below.

To bring that down, the staff at Orchard Park care center in Orem changed her medication. The results were dramatic and catastrophic. Within two […]
The weather channel reports at this time the outside temperature is -12; with the wind chill it’’s -28.
