Some serious hair...

Today's nurse was concerned that Tori was getting quite warm. We were told that 30% to 40% of the body heat is released through the head. At one point, she figured that Tori was sweating and decided to undo her braided hair.

Maria and Tim tried for a while to straigthen it back and spread it accross the pillow so she could cool off a little bit. Well, let me tell you, that was a lot of hair! Tori would have been mortified if she had been awake to see her hair like that. Maria washed her hair.

Tori brought a lot of warmth to my heart today. While she was quiet and mostly asleep today, she did wake up for a few minutes. She was really alert and was starring for long seconds. I could tell she was trying to communicate something to us. Seeing her alert re-juiced my convictions. A lot of it is perception of course, but no one can take away how much we believe in her!

Tim's brothers and parents all came up to the hospital to take Tim out for dinner (Birthday). We went to TGI Friday on Foothill dr.

I saw Peggy tonight, one of Tori's previous nurse. She is so nice and concerned about her. I really like her.

Tori, no one can even being to image what you are going through. Tonight again your friends were telling me how they are in New York City for you more than the competition itself. You are bringing the best out of people!
