Kathleen had a nice shower today before the girls and I went off to activity after activity on a beautiful day. Unfortunately the day ended with another disappointment after Santa Clara failed to get into either the NCAA or NIT tournament. Many teams with worse RPIs and records vaulted in ahead of the Broncos, but after the past 3 years of disappointments, the glass is nearly always half-empty and I expect things to go wrong.

Kathleen is fully recovered from her bout with a urinary tract infection and the flu.

This article regarding the need for more research on people in a vegetative state is exactly what the Global Ischemia Foundation hopes to encourage. 'Without national data, we don't know how many patients are in this situation. In fact, we don't even know how frequent or likely recoveries like Mr. Wallis' might be. "The Wallis case demonstrates that, even years after injury, the minimally conscious brain has the potential, in rare cases, for recovery. It also lays out the possibility that this process might even be accelerated and helped," See this amazing article.
