(Brother Dave here…)
Tonight is the Big Limbaughski fundraiser in Grand Rapids. Janice has driven to Holland to pick up master Nick; I’ve headed east and am in Dan’s room. He is indeed back on the 10th floor, out of ICU. Yea! We chatted for a big a bit then he fell back asleep. It was great to hear his voice and see him smile at my lame jokes. (“Doctor, will I be able to yodel again?” “Why, certainly, with time.” “That’s great, I’ve never been able to yodel before!”)
I’ve got the PC and the Skype cam all set up, waiting for a call back from Kevin at the Polish Hall…
Kevin got us Skyped. Dan watched the swirling mass of people, was impressed. Because there were so many people – and the band – we couldn’t hear more than a big swooshing noise. But it was still impressive! The call dropped four or five times but we were able to reconnect. Dan said he wished he could have been there – don’t we all!
Tomorrow we’ll hear how much moolah was raised. I have a feeling that with the great turnout it will be a goodly amount, which I’m sure will be a great relief to Dan.
