From Gloria:

Yesterday, Tuesday, Joseph was either cold and shivering or hot and fevered. We spent the day piling on the blankets or turning on a fan to cool him off. They can't figure out where the infection is coming from. They have made him much more comfortable by putting him on an air filled bed and gave him a new neck brace. He had a restless night and is still fighting the fever. They have been running more tests to see if they can find the cause. He has been having a lot of pain in his right shoulder and we are thinking maybe he injured it in the accident. We are hoping to get him out of ICU soon, but not yet.

We have appreciated your many acts of kindness, your notes of love and support, your concern and care and most of all your prayers for Joseph. Most of the time he is in good spirits and has a great attitude. He is still "Joe" and although he can barely whisper he still gets in an occasional funny remark. We as a family are truly blessed to have so many wonderful, loving people in our lives. Thank you so much ! !
