Fri April 15 Noon

I just got off the phone with Ed. He's been moved out of ICU and he had just returned from dialysis.

This was the first call we had where he answered the phone by himself and was 99.9% aware. He was lucid and knew about the blog and all the well wishes. He sends his regards and thanks for the concerns.

Looks like he'll be doing better each day, so far so good, no surprises...

I'm leaving for a friend's house in VA so I'll check in on him later today and then travel on to Raleigh either Sun night or Mon morn, at which time the blog will include photos (if appropriate).

I've added a few others permission to post top level comments on the blog, maybe we'll have more commentary from people who've already visited Ed.

Regards,
Brian
