I asked Michelle for permission to print this. I should have asked Greco, I guess, but I think he would say "sure, what the hell!"

Letter from Michelle:

Hello!
Beautiful weather we are having here.
So, yesterday was a good day. Greco sat in a wheelchair for the first time and was allowed to drink boullion. He is really frustrated that he cannot eat. You know Greco, he loves food. I keep telling him I will put some herring in a blender for him if he wants, but for some reason it is not appealing to him.

He is getting better every day. He can only be in the chair for about half an hour as he is sore and not used to sitting upright on a chair. But little by little every day. Today I will take him outside for his first breath of fresh air in 2 weeks. I am bringing the camera and if Greco and Roland will allow it I will take a photo to send.

Roland says he (Roland) will be discharged from the hospital sometime in the next few days. He is still broken, but apparently does not need to be in the hospital. So that is good news. I am curious about how he will live in his apartment as he is on the 2nd floor. Greco has heard nothing about when he will leave and thinks it will be awhile yet. But maybe we know something next week about that.

So, I just wanted to let you know as this is good news!
Talk to you soon!
Michelle
