I just called to check on Jay but they haven't done rounds yet. So I'll call a little later. The nurse said he's doing fine. A little bloated again despite a spot treatment of lasix. I wish they knew what was causing this. She said this excess fluid could be making it harder for him to breathe too.

We'll see what the docs say when they round. I expressed my dislike about the broviac but also told them I want what's best for Jay.

My Dad sent this to me today and it really hit home:

ONE PARAGRAPH THAT EXPLAINS LIFE!

Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983. From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed: "Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease"?

To this Arthur Ashe replied: "The world over -- 50 million children start playing tennis, 5 million learn to play tennis, 500,000 learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam, 50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to semi final, 2 to the finals, when I was holding a cup I never asked GOD 'Why me?'. And today in pain I should not be asking GOD 'Why me?' "

"Happiness keeps you Sweet, Trials keep you Strong, Sorrow keeps you Human, Failure keeps you humble and Success keeps you glowing, but only Faith & Attitude Keeps you going..."
