Mike's pressure went up overnight and he was given a CT scan at 4AM. The CT showed no new problems. They have readjusted his vent levels and the excessive pressure problem seems to be corrected for now. But that means more vent today.
Kit heads back to San Diego today and their will be a Weil changing of the guard. My mom arrives in time to get Amelia ready for another week of school. The kids will miss the abundance of chocolate chips in their pancakes and the endless patience.
John Clayton flies back to Palm Springs today. He will pack up their rental and return in his car to Portland later in the week.
John, Canterbury's Top Chef, whipped up a stellar pasta dinner last night for Amelia's birthday meal. She requested her favorites: pasta (plain), apples and salami. John managed to create a dinner with the spirit of all those requests and adjust it to palates that crave...shall we say...flavor. Amelia had hers plain; we did not. We will miss his ability to walk the fine line of Amelia's persnickety palate!

Amelia's Birthday dinner was certainly excellent! I now know where Mike gets his culinary skills. Many Thanks John. It's beautifully sunny today and the view of the mountain is magnificent. It's often that we'll get a call from Mike telling us to look out the window at the day's view. I look forward to getting those calls again soon.
Susan, Brandon, Ethan & Mags.
I assume you mean intracranial pressure (not blood pressure). I'm looking forward to seeing everyone on Thursday and particularly to meeting Susan in person. Such kindness and strength surrounds Michael . . . you can feel it all the way down here.
I had an image of Mike walking happily along the Helliwell plateau, laughing with the eagles and Orca's. Maybe he is sharing his dreams with us, opiate-induced or otherwise.
Mike, While the days and nights will seem to pass so slowly...patience is your primary responsibility. A friend once told me don't give up the high ground, approach each day with renewed optimism and celebrate each step you take toward your recovery. All of the Lujan's send you love and prayers. Squeeze Caitlin's hand for us...we're thinking of her and the childern as well.
Hi there guys..........
I guess this sort of thing is just like the stock market, you get the ups, and a few little downs.....but I know he is going to 'rally'
So tell me, when is it time for Cecil and I to get in the big red truck?
We're just waiting for an invite.
Hallelulah!! Gordon put in the new bathroom this weekend!
Much love, good wishes for a safe, warm and comfy evening with all sorts of angels looking over you all.
