Mom had her IV, patient control analgesia (pain drip), and epidural tubes removed this morning and was glad to be able to move more freely. The catheter should come out this afternoon and she can have her long-awaited shower!

Dad was the most awake we have seen him since the accident. He did not seem terribly achy or restless. He was awake and talking with us for about 15 minutes. He was able to speak briefly with his mother by cell phone. His facial injuries are healing and his swelling is going down. After holding hands with Mom for several minutes, he politely asked her to let go see he could stretch his arms and take a rest.
