| Spen still has the goofy personality. |

| Garrett is so happy Spencer is smiling! |
After two rough days of much pain and very little sleep, Spen is having his first reduced-stress day. He gave his evening nurse a wild ride last night by constantly struggling to pull off every foreign object from his body. This morning found him wearing huge mittens, with all four appendages tied tightly to the bed. His new nickname is "Houdini," as he managed to remove one of the mitts by bending his head down to his tethered hand and using his teeth to release the velcro around his wrist! This comes following the warning passed on during the morning shift change: "Don't trust him." Spencer's temperature has come down, and we are still awaiting further results from his spinal tap. The assumption is that he does have aminor form of meningitis, in addition to pneumonia. He has started breathing treatments and continues to be on antibiotics. He is much happier today in his few waking moments, but remains unable/unwilling to answer most questions. He expresses himself verbally and recognizes his family. It has been a huge relief today to see him BOTH conscious and comfortable. Thanks to all of our family and friends for your support and prayers. Again, this email goes out to those whose addresses I have, please feel free to pass it on.
P.S. Garrett is home for the weekend from BYU and counted the staples in Spen's head. The number is 70.
