Jeff~

Keep the faith. The best is yet to come. You have certainly " paid your

dues " haven't you. I am thinking and praying for your recovery.

Dear Tiger

The first night in ICU they were unable to have the bed do

what it was supposed to do , such as raise the head high enough to be

in a sitting position and adjusting the legs so that he would not

slide down the bed... (which he ended up doing and Dr Crookes and the

nurses were able to help him back up in bed at that time I asked

if he could be put in a regular bed but Dr Crookes said that he

needed

to be in That bed , so that the nurses could move him better in the

bed .

By the second day , we were mentioning it to everyone who

would listen , how much a lot of the group had problems with the bed.

The company's representative came by one day and could not even get

it

t work properly... (hmmm maybe they should make sure that everyone

knows how to manipulate this bed huh??? )

Now we know that the bed is not working 100% the way it

should but... Yesterday when the Physical Therapist came to work with

Jeff , she was unable to place him in a complete sittng position

while

sitting in the bed.

I surely hope and pray he will be allowed to go into a regular bed as

soon as possible
