Okay just a tiny, micro update before we head off to the hospital -- Dawn & Mom reported last night that Dad appears to be having some hiccups, which interfere with the ventilator, which stresses him out and pops his ICP (brain pressure) numbers up a good five points or so. Dad's pretty well-known for having really strong hiccups, so we'd like to pray that for the next little while, at least, those hiccups just go away. Thanks everyone, more later!

Dearest Kristy and Hollingshead Family,
We only learned today of your father's condition, from Marie (Otton) Hammerschmidt. We are praying for you and Ed's recovery. We are praying for the doctors and nurses to use their best skills and knowledge and to make the right choices in Ed's treatment. We can't imagine what a difficult time this must be for you and we are also praying for strength and spiritual endurance for you and your family as well. We hope that you will be comforted by God's hand under such hard circumstances.
Sincerely and with sympathetic thoughts,
The Otton Family
The entire Hollingshead family is in our thoughts and prayers. Ed was also added to the Light of the World Catholic Church prayer intentions book last week. So he has lots of people on his side.
Sincerely, Francine & John Bis
Marian and family,
The courage and strength shown by your entire family is inspiring. You are in our thoughts and prayers. We hope and pray that Ed continues his recovery.
May God bless you.
Michael Giuntoli and family
You and your dad have been in my thoughts Kristy. My hopes and well wishes are with you and your family. I'll give you a big hug the next time I see you.
Love,
Celia
Marian, Kristy, and Dawn, and family,
My mom has been keeping me updated with Ed's condition, and I have been thinking about him quite a lot lately. From my own recent experiences with my father-in-law, I know how hard this kind of thing can be. I know Ed's hanging in there, and it sounds like he is at least maintaining status quo at this time. All our thoughts and prayers are with you.
I currently work at St. Joseph Hospital which is right next door to PSL, so I hope to stop in to say hi at some point. Thanks for keeping us all posted with this great website. I plan to visit the site often.
All our love,
Rachelle (Bis), Stephan, Laurel, and baby Gerali
Keith and I are wishing Ed a full recovery and our prayers are with the entire Hollingshead family daily. Ed & Marian were our first friends in Denver in 1980 and we were able to keep in touch when my sister, Francine and John moved in across the street from them. It is a small world. Ed, we are thinking of you and praying for you!
Sincerely,
Keith & Kathy Gremban
