Heading to hospital...no real news, he called, is very angry, frustrated...has not slept.  It IS a hospital, after all.  My arthritis is flaring, my knuckles look like they belong on the Incredible Hulk.  Thanks for prayers...will update late.  I am not staying all day at the hospital.  I simply can't.  We can only go two at a time....

Love to all,

Ellen
