A Promising Katie Update (posted 10/20/24)

I’m back at home, and will be writing another column for tomorrow, but I wanted to post another brief Katie update, since many of you had sent such thoughtful comments and prayers to my post on Friday.

I’m very happy to report that Katie has continued to improve since last Thursday, and will likely get out of the hospital today or tomorrow.  Since her last release only lasted 14 hours, we’re a little gun-shy about celebrating too soon, but she has rapidly improved.  The NG tube was taken out on Friday and she’s been eating more, and everything is functioning as it should.

I flew back to Florida on Friday and am taking care of business here, and God willing, my wife will be returning this week, after she’s gotten Katie settled back in at home.

Over the last several days, I’ve had a lot of time to get caught up on the larger world, only to find that the last ten days have somehow contained about three months’ worth of political and cultural events.  From the IDF whacking Sinwar to Bret Baier whacking Que Mala to A-WOLz not whacking any pheasants, everything’s been happening, and most of it has been good. 

Sure, none of it compares to finding out that your daughter won’t need another surgery.  But still, it’s good stuff, and I’m looking forward to getting at some of it tomorrow.

In the meantime, Katie’s on the mend, and I can’t thank you all enough for your support, kind comments, and prayers.  I didn’t have time to respond to them, but I did read them, and they meant the world to me.  Really, thanks!

I’m looking forward to getting back to the usual mockery and happy-political-warrior mode tomorrow.
