When it rains ...

The radio reception for 610 AM was pretty rough inside Concrete Central, but Vlad heard the game -- win No. 21 -- and I'm so glad because he loves his Rockets. Sunday is a bigger game: The Lakers for No. 22. The Lakers hold the current NBA consecutive-wins title (33). It will be interesting. And it will be on national TV.

The X-rays showed Vlad's lungs clear. It's all in his head, so to speak: it's basically a sinus infection/bronchitis, Dr. Malik said today. He's doing nebulizer treatments, antibiotics, codeine syrup and Ambien or something similar. Tonight he was coughing a lot again. But I think he was tired. He should be better tomorrow.

He's still not feeling any side effects. He said tonight he was getting a little loopy: suffering mild memory lapses. We'll keep an eye on that.

Bill came in from Austin and we had a nice visit with Vlad before we left for dinner, since the cafeteria closed at 7:30 p.m. (!) We got home after burgers and a beer at Beck's and discovered a leak in the ceiling in the master bedroom. My brother poked around in the attic found an A/C condenser pipe was leaking. It got up to like nearly 90 today, so it's time for our A/C to go haywire again. One pair of Vlad's shoes -- Italian leather -- were dripping wet. I poured a half-cup of water out of one of them. It's been leaking all day. Bill thinks he can fix it.

You just have to laugh, right?

Good morning, yes, sometimes you just have to sit down and laugh! I'm so glad Bill is there to tend to that. So very glad to know Vlad's lungs are clear! He'll be feeling better from the infection real soon. I'll talk with you later today. Love to Laura, Vlad and Bill! Mom
