Yhanks for all the kind thoughts. They say now that Bill has a minor skull fracture and that's what caused the bleed. HOW and WHEN???? He may come home tomorrow and they will take care of the colon problem later when he is stronger. Seems he was also VERY dehydrated and they have gotten that under control. We have quite a mystery here and HONESTLY I DID NOT HIT HIM!!!! Marie K.
