We were both getting our 2 week booster from after the coma. I got back from Mexico on 8/2. She had wonderful things to say about you all. Although I teased her that I had air conditioning in my hospital room, we shared a few good stories and will continue to keep in touch. I know Matthew will do well. It's frustrating when the doc is away but hang in there. Keep up the great work everyone. Best wishes, Carrie Deussing Mexico coma patient #13 (lucky 13) Hello All,
