So Tripp is still pretty sick. He's currently in room 322 of University Hospital... but visiting may be a little sketchy right now. There are a lot of friends and family that have been offering their support, but because of the constant calls, he's not getting the rest that he needs. Yesterday, I went by his room but only stayed for about 10 minutes before he needed to fall asleep. I don't know if getting visitors is different/better than getting phone calls... I suppose both may be exhausting in their own way. If you do decide to visit him, try to go sometime in the afternoon and don't plan on staying very long.
I keep having this worry that visiting/calling is somehow a selfish activity. It would be a lot easier if I knew exactly what he wanted/needed to get healthy. Then obviously I would just do that. I don't have any need to hear him tell me the details of his diagnosis, I'm sure he has plenty of people to talk to about that. What I really feel like doing when I visit is trying to take his mind off it all by talking about something else. I wish I was an entertaining speaker...
IMSC has collected some money for a gift which is great idea. Perhaps we can do the same thing. If you feel like contributing send me an email. I'll post a message to the main page as well.
