Hello

Joanna and I got to the hospital around 10 a.m. it's gotten to the point we don't need to look at our watches anymore we can tell what time it is by the events of the day. Thankfully there is a shuttle that runs every 15 minutes or so between the medical campus and the hotel. Having not to worry about finding a parking place on the streets of San Francisco is one less thing to worry about.

Utah had a long night with not much sleep. The doctors and nurses are having a little trouble deriving at the appropriate medications and doses Utah needs to maximize all of his bodies functions. I don't think it is anything to be to alarmed about, the process as a whole is complicated and every patient reacts differently and requires a different combination of meds. The main thing is his kidney function is almost back to normal, thats huge in his being able to go home and the condition of his heart is the same as it has been for the past few months so the doctors continue to be optimistic.

He's awake now and going to try some lunch so I 'll sign off for now.

Thanks again
Duncan
