Blog 101 - To those of you who are new to blogs and blogging, I wanted to give a brief overview of how to use this site. There are authors and followers. Authors are Val and Connie. Followers are all of our wonderful support system that continue to follow Bru's journey through this battle. Authors create posts, followers can read posts and comment on posts that have been created. As a follower you don't have to log in in with an account or sign in to comment. If there is a post that you are interested in commenting on, just click the comment icon below the post itself. Once you have typed your post, you must choose an account just below the text box, choose anonymous! If you are looking for all of the posts to the blog, scroll down the page and look to the right of the screen, every post is listed there by month and day. It's listed chronologically starting newest to oldest. If you want to add pictures, please email me at emtp1124@yahoo.com with a description of the picture and the caption you would like underneath it. Blogging is very similar to Facebook and other social sites, but it doesn't have the ability to post things to the blog like you do people's walls in facebook. If you are having problems viewing the blog, it may be because of settings that you have on your internet browser . You can type the URL into your smart phone browser as well and see the blog pretty well. If you want updates sent to you anytime things are updated, subscribe to the blog by email. This option is at the top of the page on the right hand side of your screen just above the picture of Bruce. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at emtp1124@yahoo.com.

Recovery- Day 4

Things are really great today! When I arrived at the hospital, Bru was sitting in the recliner while they were cleaning his room. He is nodding yes and no. He wanted some cappuccino! Saw my wesco cup hoping it was cappuccino! He nodded no when I asked him if he wanted some, it was coffee. He looked at the newspaper, seemed more transfixed on the sports section. He fed himself alone today and ate all of his breakfast. He looked at the blog on my phone and saw the "surgery a success" post and gave me a thumbs up. I read him everyone's comments. Gave a thumbs up for that. Which was great!

I showed him my black Friday app on my iPhone. Showed him a great deal on a Sony blu-ray player and he grabbed the phone and started investigating all the techy details on it. He is following commands very well! He will be out of ICU soon. He is very interactional today and wide awake at times. He is using both arms just fine and his right leg. He is discovering all of his gadgets and gizmos attached to him. He is much more aware of everything! Hoping mom will bring him some cappuccino with her. Keep praying we are doing well! Huge progress thru the night. Got him to laugh last night because of his turban, he thought that was pretty funny! He enjoyed the comments on the blog, keep them coming!

    Well if Bruce is wearing a Turbine then he would fit right in with the photos on Donn and Deb's dinning room wall. We were told they are Debbie's family, but they sure do look like the Bin Laden's to me.
