Spoke with Cristina. She is one level-headed chick. Little G and
Christopher have been shuffled around a bit, but are home and happy and
taken care of.

Here is a brief update on Gerard:

Still at Concord, out of ICU and in regular room. Cris says it’s been a
really good place to be; everyone is amazed with his progress. His
spirits are good, talking about maybe racing dirt, blah blah blah yadda
yadda.

Waiting for chest tube to be removed before he can be transferred to Rhode
Island. Tube was in because there was a small puncture in lung, with
collapse. It was in not primarily because he was doing badly wrt
breathing (or whatever chest tubes are for), but rather because he was to
have neck surgery, as a precaution to his overall health and function.
Might remove tube Wednesday, depending on whether lung is healed
sufficiently.

Will follow up with clavicle, scapula, humerus at local hospital.

I forgot to ask if he had feeling back in the other arm.

We should do a benefit. Let’s go you planners extraordinaire, let’s make
it happen. I don’t think it should be May. June - at the earliest - to
get full benefit of all schwag and personnel that could possibly be
available. I'm not very good at this stuff, but I will help in any way I
can.
