Visited Brother Monson this afternoon.  He is awake now but still under some sedation.  He was sitting up in a chair and we spoke for about an hour.  He was getting tired and I didn't want to push it.

He is in fairly good sprites but my guess is he will be in the hospital for several more days.  Because he had the airway tube for so long, his speech is effected and a little difficult.  That should clear soon.  As much as many of you would like to visit or call him, I would suggest waiting for a few more days to give him a chance to build his strength.  He seems to be doing well and all is coming along as expected, but he is still weak and needs a little more time.  His family is very supportive and visit him daily.  Keep him in your prayers.
