Tues Update

[Joe Haldeman]

Tues 9/29 3PM.  Joe is still in ICU, still on the ventilator, still  
running a fever of about 102.  The consensus among the docs is that he  
doesn't have an infection, he has an inflammation of the pancreas.  As  
far as I can tell, the plan is to keep all signs stable and wait it  
out.  This may be a very long wait, one doc told me.  So... one day at  
a time.  He knew I was there today, but he wasn't agitated, thank  
goodness.  I can't conveniently sit beside him--too much going on.  So  
my plan is to duck in and call the nurse often and get out and about  
while I can.

I went to lunch with Steve Leigh, Rusty and Joel Zakem.  Joel is the  
angel who has loaned me the apartment.  This evening Rusty and I will  
hang out with Becca Levin and pet the kitties while her hubby is  
playing darts with friends.

Thanks for all your good wishes.  We need them.  Love, Gay
