I'm not sure if you can access this NYT story, but it is compelling to me.

Thanks Sandy. As of this morning, Larry's status is "stable" and he is
about where his doctors expected him to be at this time: machine is
doing his breathing, chest fluid is draining and the kidneys seem to be
kicking back in a bit. He'll be on the Vent and totally out of it for
several more days while his ribs begin to knit and heal. Then it will
take several days to wean him off the ventilator I am told.
You're a rock

Carolyn Ziegler and the Patty/Leonard family
I saw Carolyn this afternoon at Select something-or-other, the "new" hospital in the 1500 block of Walton Way. She moved there on Independence Day, and she's exercising her freedom, more surely each day.
She is hearing, and she is responding. She's waved, she smiles in response, she can watch. Seems to me she's stuck inside a body she wants to control, inside a mind she wants to fine tune, but she's finding her way. She had a huge grin when I commented about how she would never have guessed that Dennis would be proving his love in this way, as he attended to her legs, rearranging her feet under the sheet and encouraging her to push her legs against a pillow. Before I left, I told Dennis that she had to be annoyed with being stuck in the hospital bed, and she nodded in agreement!
I haven't spoken to Gail since July 3rd, but Michelle had come to visit with the children, and that had gone well.
How thankful these families and their friends and caretakers are.
