Another tidbit

We'll try not to overwhelm you with posts, but we wanted to share some more good news: Bill did have a reflexive response when the doctors started lifting him out of his medically paralyzed state: he coughed and has had some facial movement and is wiggling his toes a bit. All very welcome signs. He's still heavily sedated, so we won't expect him to be interacting anytime soon, but we're happy he's responding to stimuli.

He's now getting that tandem pump put in, so we won't have any more substantive updates for at least an hour while if all goes well.

  2. Hi Katie,

    Thanks for posting the updates, my thoughts are with Billy. Hoping for a full and speedy recovery. I will be in chicago on Nov. 16, hope he's up for a visitor by then.

  9. Kate, Thanks so much for keeping us all in the loop. So glad to see how many loving friends and family are pulling for him.

    Bill, can't wait to see you again, man! You will pull through this. Hearts are overrated, anyway. Enjoy the rest. Mark
