Visit with Bill and Basil tonight.  Bill has the heart pump completely removed.  Still on respirator.  Pneumonia set in.  101 temp.  He is kept sedated.  Basil talks about taking him home.  If Bill can pull through, he will have open heart again.  It could take a couple of months.  He still is in a critical state.  I am glad you called Clyde.  Best to you and your family.  Love, Olga
