Tuesday, 8:30 pm Update
Just finished talking with Gail. Larry had a fairly stable day physically. He doesn't appear to be in any pain or significant distress. Their good friends Tom and Jan H. and Gary came down and spent a great deal of time in Larry's room with Gail and Larry, and Chris was there too. They had a great visit, Gail said although Larry still is not talking and is sleeping most of the time, he did recognize his good friends and she really felt he was getting a kick out of all these people coming to visit and Gail's phone ringing constantly with friends and family calling to check on him. Larry has always loved a good party! Gail is doing pretty well, she is mentally exhausted with all of this and was going to bed early and hoping to get a good nights sleep. Tomorrow, Larry's previous caregiver and good friend Liz is coming to visit. I really don't think this man has ever met someone and not made them a life long friend. What an incredible guy; I guess this is why Gail named this blog "Everybody Loves Larry".

Gail is headed into the hospital to spend the day with Larry, she will call me later when she gets there to give me an update on Larry's condition. Larry's good friends Tom H. and Gary are headed down from Milwaukee to visit with Lar and Gail. Tom and Gary are like "Chicken Soup for the Soul"; great friends who have been with Larry thru the good and the not so good. I know Gail will welcome the diversion. Love these guys!

Haven't spoke with Gail yet this morning, I'm sure I will in a little while. I'll post an update after I speak with her as to how Larry's night went.

Jayne,
Thanks for trying to get a hold of me. I did talk to Gail, I was way up in the mountains for the weekend, of course, with no cell service. Gail had my cell, but I know things are crazy. If you need me...530-368-2345. I always have it with me. Thank you for the updates...you can't imagine how hard it is to be so far away from my dad. I am so glad he has Gail and the boys and you....I too hope this doesn't go on much longer, I want him at peace. This is not how he would want to live, I know that for sure. Thank you again for all of your help...Lori
Jayne,
Thank you for the updates and your humorous comments. No matter what, you sisters have your sparkling wits. At this point, the levity helps. We know Larry would be wisecracking if he could!
Thinking of you all....
It is very sad to hear of Larrys' passing, but to hear of the many issues, Larry would not have wanted this to continue. This man was a unique person to say the least. A friend, a mentor, a confidant, a fishing buddy, and yes, a drinking buddy at times as well. He left an impact on every person he met. Steve and Chris have many of the same traits, but not yet like dad! You will be greatly missed but never forgotten.
