News from Aunt Meg is that Grandpa Bill is getting better and wants out!! They are keeping him in the ICU for now until they can run some more tests. Apparently the muscle tissue in his esophagus is very loose and his food sits in there and ends up in his lungs causing the pnemonia. The fix for this may entail inserting a feeding tube, of course Grandpa Bill is not going for this. We'll just have to see what he decides. But its looking good that he will be back at Megs in the next week if he continues to improve.

I talked to Granpa Bill this afternoon

I talked to Granpa Bill this afternoon. They have kept him in the hospital. He has pnemonia and because the flu is running its course through Philly the only bed they could put him in was in the ICU. He sounds much better and is getting his oxygen stepped down to normal. No other word.

Grandpa Bill is in the hospital at Bryn Mawr. He had trouble breathing this morning and Meg took him in. They increased his oxygen and he seems to be doing better. They probably will keep him today and unless something else changes he'll go home tonight. I'll keep you posted. Say some prayers. Love, Bets

In the office today for a few hours and catch up and thought that I would send on some brief notes regarding our visit to Philly. Dad seemed in good spirits and mentally sharp. His biggest pain complaint seems to be from his back and it is unclear on whether this is a result of the fall or the accident.
Dick has reported all the medical particulars but in general Dad is just very weak. It is rather difficult for him to have visitors for more than a short period but
I am sure he would enjoy cards, letters etc..
The place in Florida is not actually closed and I think that if anyone would like to do some vacation time there you are more than welcome.
Best wishes, Betsy and the boys

Talked to Granpa Bill this p.m. and they were almost to Meg's house. The train ride was apparently rough and he was coughing blood this morning. Not a good sign. He meets with the oncologist on Thursday. We'll see what happens. I know you guys miss her but I it is a great comfort to have your mom there. Hopefully she doesn't get stuck in the blizzard!
