Update

Asa and I visited B at the hospital this Saturday. B spoke but was tired. She recognized people.

I am looking into some problem with B's telephone line. Best not to record voice mails, as Ed does not know how to listen to them, and now even cannot listen to them. Verizon cannot decide whether there is a problem with the line or whether there is a billing problem. Will take 2 weeks to send someone to fix. With the marvelous help of Alan Wolf, the TV, DVD and Netflix are up and running. E brings movies to the hospital for B to watch.

My impression is that Ed is in better shape these weeks (he was even in his office last week, after 5 months). He has his laptop in the hospital and is good with emails. Almost never home, ergo home phone calls are dicey, and the cell phone might be on or off.
