Brooke - Monday, 9:00pm

Brooke is still in the ICU and had another exhausting day. Although he very much appreciates the visitors, he's not getting the sleep he needs to be able to heal. Both he and mom have a hard time saying no when people come by (because he does WANT to see you), so we're going to have to say it for him.

We're asking that you please refrain from visiting him in the next few days. He really, really needs to rest and sleep so he can stabilize and get out of the ICU. Please don't take our request personally - it's strictly a medical/sleep issue.

Please continue to post comments to the blog, as we read those to him and he enjoys each and every one.

We'll let you know when he feels stronger and ready for visitors again. Thanks so much.

Dear Brooke and Peggy,
We wanted you to know that you are constantly in our thoughts even though we are so far away. I am finally working on a scrapbook of our Mexico trip and we're all enjoying the pictures of you both, and of course the wonderful memories. They help us smile during this tough time. Hopefully they do the same for you. We wish Brooke a speedy recovery. And we're sending you lots of love and hugs across the miles. Thanks for the updates, Sarah!
All our love,
Sandy, Bill, Kendall, Will and Jack

Dear "Booker" and Peggy,

Our best thoughts and wishes are with you. Thanks to Sarah (and family) for keeping us informed. Booker, Sam has been following your progress and seems to be equally worried about your bike. He said that when you feel better, he'll help you tune it up because "a guy's gotta have his wheels." (9 year olds have interesting priorities, eh?) In the mean time, Peggy, let me know if I can do anything. I'd love to be helpful. If you need the kitchen tidied, dishes washed and returned to people, an errand, whatever, just let me know.

With much love,

Sam and Mary-Jane Forbyn-West

(Yes, double hyphens. Bill and I ran off to the courthouse and tied the knot last week.)

Brooke and Peggy--
I have the Healing Buddha mojo going as much as possible. You are both in my thoughts.

Brooke--I am making a rowing date with you for a year from now, weather permitting. No other excuses are acceptable. In your honor, I'll try reading the Herman Melville book mentioned in the Trib. Never heard of it, but I am sure you can cure me of my functional ignorance.

Peggy-- I will contact you after Thanksgiving to see how you are.

My best to you both. Kay
