My mother and one of my aunts sat with my grandfather last night and there were several rough spots.  It was very sad when we had to leave.  After we left, my aunt called to tell us that he’d improved later in the morning.  He has always been a very robust man, and even in his current state he’s got some of that fight left.  They’ll probably move him out of the hospital in Houston soon and send him back to Richmond so he will be closer to the family (most of whom are in Rosenberg).  But at this point, it’s only a matter of time and they’re just going to try to keep him comfortable.

Maybe later, when I’m not so tired (I’ve been on the road most of the day), I may have more to say about my (unfavorable) thoughts on the doctors who have been involved with my grandfather’s care.
