Daily Mitch Report – Monday, February 01, 2010
Baby steps of progress. Two “soft” meals have arrived and our boy says he’s eaten most of them. That means cream of rice cereal, a little soup and a roll. And he took a little walk – 40 feet? - And sat up in one of his chairs for “at least an hour.” Our evening nurse is scouring the floor for a foot stool so he can sit even longer with his still swollen feet elevated. Furnishings and equipment wander around here a bit, and we lost our foot stool earlier when it was needed elsewhere. Then it didn’t matter then as Mitch wasn’t getting up.
The white blood count is now 3.8 !!!!! There is talk of taking him off one of the antibiotics as he body is more able to fight back. Of course, he’s still very tired. And he reports he is a little uncertain about “the grand food experiment.” But so far, so good.
So stay tuned and thanks for all that positive energy.
Penny, Mitch and Laina

Hey, Medears,
ReplyDeletePenny, huge thanks for chiming in with news and views and huge hugs both your ways. All this folderol can't be easy on anyone. Please do know our (dammitt!!) best wishes go your way and that you're in our thoughts just a darned lot of the time. A newsy aside: We're just back from SATW Western Chapter mtg. in Tahoe where Steve and I did shootout. He won two first categories (!!) and I, much to my amazement, won Gold Portfolio and another first category with his borrowed old point-and-shoot. Great photogs, grey day, but great shootout. Keep the faith, stay strong.

Hi, Mitch!

Bonjour Mitch,
ReplyDeleteIt's Martine from Québec! Alexis, replacing me at the Québec Ski Areas Association forwarded me an email from Martin Griff explaning what you are going through and it saddens me a lot to hear you are not well. My thoughts are with you and I am sending you positive vibes.
Big kisses from myself, Ms Marianne (now 6 years old) and the newest addition to our family, Baby Evelyne (born dec. 22).
Hey Mitch,
ReplyDeleteSent you a note via your email address about a week ago; hope you got it. Thought of you when I took my grandies to Snow Mountain Ranch near Winter Park - bet you've covered that place, eh? Dino and Naye are here tonight; we're driving up to Winter Park tomorrow for the Western Winter Summit and to demo next year's gear for SIA's on-snowsShow. Hope you're up and going strong very soon. Hugs!

Hey Mitch,
ReplyDeleteGreg & I are sending our very best vibes your way. Skiing was -12F last weekend, so we were chillin’ (literally) and thinking of you while we rode Smuggs’ long double chair ride. Wishing you the best in this battle…you have a huge cheering section from ESWA, NASJA, your fans and readers across the country.
Be well Mitch,
Heather & Greg Burke
Mitch,
ReplyDeleteWe are all thinking of you up here at Gunstock. Keep fighting so we can take more runs. Last weeked was way cold but the weather is improving. Everyone here at the mountain will make sure we dedicate a few runs to our good friend.
Fight hard, and be well
