Visitors Really Help! Graham's 1st Hospital Stay

Visits from friends and family really boost our spirits.

Forsan came from Los Angeles:

Cousins Karen and Will helped make Graham's first in-hospital chemo treatment less stressful.

To get Graham ready for the hospital, Will made breakfast, and even picked grapefruit for fresh-squeezed juice:

Graham is determined to "lick" his stubborn neck tumor:
Will beats us all at Boggle, but Graham rules the Scrabble board.

Notice the cot that Will is sitting on. Stanford lets spouses sleep in the room by providing a chair that turns into a cot. So glad I could stay with my sweetie each night!

John keeps us entertained during the long 5 day hospital stay:

Graham's brother Gary has been a constant help and companion: Don't have a photo of Gary in the hospital, but here's another one from Filoli!

Thanks to all of you who visited Graham in the hospital. It really made the time pass so much more quickly and pleasantly. It was heartwarming to us to see how many of our relatively new California friends and neighbors came to show their concern and love. Thank you so much Cary, Ella, Deborah, Wyatt, Jimmy, Dick, Wendy, Kevin, Marilyn, Norm, Harriet, Joyce, Jerry, John, Erika and Rabbi E!
