Bill was moved from the SICU today to a "regular" hospital room. He also showered and shaved. Many of the lines were removed from his arms and he looks more like "our Bill". The effects of his sickness continue but he can easily carry on a conversation and is completely aware of his surroundings. Fortunately, he remembers virtually nothing of his 7 days in the SICU.
He is exhausted as sleeping is very difficult. His Dr.'s would like him to get as much rest as possible this weekend to aid in his recovery. There will be lots and lots and lots and lots of time to spend with Bill as he recovers.
Daddy will go home to Lebanon tomorrow for the week and be back for the 4th bringing the girls from camp with him. We will miss his presence next week but know his leaving is a good sign that he is confident Bill will be okay.
We received a card today from a dear family friend that said "You gave us quite a scare, that's for sure! But I knew you would pull through because I had a dream that Jenny was crossing the street from the hospital, smoking a cigarette, holding a small baby that talked and she and the baby told me that you were going to be fine. I woke up feeling very positive.....how could a smoking mother holding her talking baby be wrong??"
We will take a positive sign ANYWHERE we can get it! All of your signs of love and support are so very appreciated and felt by all of us.
Love, The Obremskey's

Billy O, thinking of you here in Northern California - I was back at Duke last week with my daughter, made me realize how precious all of my Duke friends are to me.

That is the most wonderful news! When he starts getting grouchy, then you'll know he's getting better! Is it true that doctors make the worst patients?? Thanks for the updates!!
