Rich is a little tiny, itty bitty, minute sliver of a percent better. He had a worrisome fever yesterday, but the blood cultures didn't show any new threat and Tylenol got it down. His kidneys still aren't doing their job, but that isn't the concern that the pneumonia is.

They let me stay straight through from 3:00 til 5:30; I could have stayed longer but my back and feet were screaming for me to sit down. I picked up a book this afternoon so I can read to him when I run out of things to babble about.
