Day Eight - Thursday December 22, 2011 p.m.

So, yesterday Mark shaved his head and so did Justus (Dave's 11 yr. old son).  The numbers are growing!  We have been joking that we have strange family reunions.  Other families go to Disney Land or Hawaii.  We seem to meet on a regular basis in hospitals.  We thought we should get t-shirts--Hall Family Reunion 2011--Utah Valley Regional Medical Center.  We have also joked about different funny t-shirts for Bridgett.......I spent (?) days in a coma and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.  Or, girl on bike vs. pick-up truck--girl 1, pick-up 0. I woke up from a coma this week--what did you do.  Bridgett's surgery went well.  The doctor was able to do the simple surgery for the zygomatic bone, got the trach tube placed and the feeding tube in the nose.  She is still under sedation but just now starting to move.  It has been a long week.  I am tired and trying to get to bed a little earlier tonight.  The hospital offered us a room across the street from the hospital.  They have 10 units, set up just like a hotel.  There is a large common area kitchen and a free washer/dryer area.  We take turns sleeping and showering etc.  We can stay for only $25/night.  Although we have family in the area, it is so nice to be really close to the hospital.
