From Tom 1/16/09

I spoke w/ Carmen today. She came to get her girls in Safford & she's heading back down to Phoenix. They are going to let her have Marco for a day...take him out of the hospital, around town, to a restaurant, etc. She was very excited. She said that if things go well, he may get released from the hospital in a couple of weeks. He would stay in the Phoenix area to do therapy, etc., but may get out of a hospital bed....yeah!
