JANUARY 31, 2008

Todd is still in the cardiac care center unit and will be there for a while. Last night he had a couple irregular arrhythmias and the doctors had to shock him. They are watching his heart very closely and so far today everything looked good. Todd still has a chest tube in place and the doctors are pleased with the way the fluid around his lung is draining. The doctors will know in a couple of days if the infection is getting any better. We were told to take one day at a time. The good news is that Todd sat up and ate dinner. This is the first time Todd has eaten in about 5 days. We are thrilled. I had a nice conversation with him and his mind is still as sharp as ever.

Dana, Sue Ellen and I (Stacy) have been at his bedside for the past couple days. While we were there today, Sue Ellen had some pains in her chest and was taken to the emergency room. She had a irregular heart beat and the doctors wanted to admit her to the hospital. Michael Lerman and I took turns watching my father and helping Sue Ellen in the emergency room. Just so everyone knows this is a very typical day for the Boff family. Fortunately Sue Ellen felt better and they released her.

We want to thank everyone for all your love and support. We have received so many phone calls and although we would love to call everyone back there is just not enough time in the day. So please forgive us if we do not return your phone call. We love you all.
