I just got off the phone with Phred.

He sounded better than the last time I talked to him (Friday night) but still didn't sound "normal."

He's scheduled for surgery at 8.30am tomorrow and someone (either himself or one of his firebuddies) is to try and get ahold of Staci. I told him that if he didn't call me tomorrow, I'd try to get ahold of him on Tuesday after I got off of work. (Didn't know if he'd feel much like talking tomorrow.)

We were talking about his crew...
One of the nurses suggested that we (not sure who "we" consisted of) should try sneaking a dog in (I assume she meant his dogs); there's no formal pet-therapy program in place at the hospital.

I wonder if Pat and Joan would be willing to load his crew up and take them to the hospital? (Cinder and Smoke used to visit their grandmom in the nursing home, so they'd almost assuredly be ok. Bowser might be a bit more of a challenge.) I don't feel right asking them; moreover, I don't have any contact information for them. Ah well, a nice thought perhaps.


Extra prayers on the way tonight/tomorrow, Phred!!
