[Joe Haldeman]

   Joe's about the same, though they had to turn the respirator back  
up.  He's working too hard to breathe.  This is not unusual.  The doc  
will try again over the next few days, then do a trachiostomy if he  
can't get off the machine.  It's temporary, he can be less sedated  
then and able to talk.  His white cell count is down, his fever is at  
101 and didn't get high over night.  He was (too) alert just now, but  
I was able to talk to him and he understood.  The nurse is giving him  
more medicine so he isn't bothered by all the tubes down his throat,  
poor dear.  It's a waiting game.  Love, Gay
