| "Teo is still not awake; however, around noon today, he did open his eyes very briefly and track his son who was at his bedside. Very hopeful that he is on the verge of waking up!
One other thing, his children and I were talking about a personal subject that kind of gets him riled up, and the nurse came in and said that his blood pressure was going up and we needed to change the conversation. Apparently, he can comprehend even though he can't respond. I have to believe that is a good sign." |

| Okay well those seem to be good signs... I think.
I know there is evidence on both sides but I have always believed that people can comprehend even when they cannot communicate, like when they are in a coma. Or, I choose to believe that. I hope they can play music for him in his room. He would like that and it would help him recover. Some hospitals allow it and others don't. I think it also depends on whether you're in ICU, etc. |

| Good idea... maybe headphones. I doubt they would let them stick anything in his ears.
Pulling for you, buddy. Wake up!! |

| I thought about headphones, but they might not fit too well over bandages and might damage stitches or stable attachments. _________________ Ideas are funny little things, they won't work unless you do.

| I am completely heartbroken but like I told Pkr earlier today, I think we have to take whatever small comfort we can in knowing that Teo would not have wanted to live unless he was whole... unless he could live a full and vibrant life.
Godspeed, my friend. I'll see you on the other side. |

| I saw them in the pnj obits. Eric... have you heard about Bob? They have found some lung cancer. I've tried to contact him... but he may not feel like talking right now. We really don't have any details... what a shitty week. |

| Bob just posted this: " Thanks to all for your concern. My tumor is 8 by 11 mm in size. I'm told if a tumor is larger than 10 mm in size, I won't have to go through an open lung biopsy. I can instead get a less invasive one, called a transbronchial lung biopsy, which is done through the mouth and airways to the lung. I have an appointment with the surgeon on Monday to see if my tumor is large enough for that method. If not I'll have to have it done the invasive way.
The biopsy will determine the source of the tumor. It could have metastisized from my Lymphoma cancer or from my Melanoma cancer or it could be independent of both. Once it's determined locally what kind of tumor it is, I'm going to go to one of the cancer centers in the southeast for further diagnosis and treatment. Either UAB (Birmingham), M.D. Anderson (Houston), Shands (Gainesville), Mayo Clinic (Jacksonville), Moffat (Tampa), or Cancer Centers of America in Atlanta. Which ones are in my insurance network will determine where I go." |

I never met Teo, face-to-face and didn't know his name. Can you please post a link to the obit? I just went back to PNJ obits and it didn't jump out at me. _________________ Ideas are funny little things, they won't work unless you do.
