Nothing but good news to report. Just got off the phone with Rosalie.

Bill has been off the ventilator for 3 days. He's still getting oxygen and still struggles a bit to breathe but his strength is coming back.

He is in his own wheelchair during the day.

He started talking yesterday for the first time in 5 weeks.

He's eating like a horse.

They're going to keep him for a while longer and do the gall bladder surgery rather than send him home. The gall bladder is still bad and they need to get it out.

Thanks to everyone, says Rosalie.

And today is Bill's 68th birthday.
