<DIV>Greetings, one and all.............I visited with Cecil this afternoon and
he seemed to be in pretty good spirits. He said that he had his first cup
of coffee today since he entered the hospital. Kinda liked having a glass
of champagne, I suppose. The doctors put him on a clear liquid diet today
and all seems to be going fine. He had oatmeal for breakfast and it went
well....so far........</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>He did not appear to be in pain like he has been recently. Maybe they
have finally gotten him on the path to the parking lot. He's looking much
better, getting more of his color back and talking better. No definite
word yet on when he will be going home but hopefully it won't bee too much
longer.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>He's still a long ways from doing any jumping jacks, but each day seems to
be a little better.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Just keep the candles lit and the prayers a-coming.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
