=============================
OK - here's the deal ...

Georgia has been moved from expensive care to the Neuro floor to begin 
rehab. According to her croakers there is light to moderate damage and 
some swelling in the left (I think) fore brain.

I had coffee last evening with my tame neuro guy (Lyle Wacaser, MD. 
FACS, Neurosurgery and Light Hauling) and asked him what, if anything, 
of that lot was of concern.

According to Lyle - her being moved from ICU to the Neuro floor is good. 
The light to moderate damage is a CYA method of blowing smoke. And the 
swelling is normal when there has been a cranial accident. So long as 
the swelling is reduced (and it has been subsiding) there is little to 
be concerned about. He says (and he's been in more skulls than Janet 
Jackson has been in teenaged boy's fantasies) that it sounds like G has 
dodged a major bullet. 

Oddly the hospital is reluctant to let Erin stay in the relative's 
accommodations provided. But, they will let Ted stay. Erin went off on 
them over this - and rightly so. She will be her mother's primary care 
giver when Georgia gets sprung. Ted is a nice guy - mostly. But, his 
short term memory is about as long as his (ahem) on a frosty winter's 
day. 

If they don't see reason soon Phil and I may have to leave bail money 
with his wife and make another trip to Peoria to straighten them out. 
By now his pickup truck knows the way to the hospital.

      Title: Rom Baba (Sponge Cake with Rum)
 Categories: Cakes, Desserts, Holiday, Russian
      Yield: 8 Servings
 
MMMMM----------------------------CAKE---------------------------------
      1    Envelope Active Dry Yeast
      6 tb Warm Water
      1 ts Salt
      6 tb Granulated Sugar
      6 tb Milk; Lukewarm
    1/2 c  Butter; Melted, then
           -Cooled to Room Temp
      5    Eggs; Slightly Beaten
      1    Orange Rind; Grated
           (About 2 TB )
      3 c  All-purpose Flour; Sifted

MMMMM---------------------------SYRUP--------------------------------
  1 1/4 c  Water
  2 1/2 c  Granulated Sugar
  1 1/3 c  Rum
 
  Sprinkle the dry yeast over the warm water in a large bowl and stir
  until the yeast is dissolved. Let stand for 5-minutes. Add salt,
  sugar, milk, butter, eggs and orange rind to the yeast and mix until
  batter is smooth. Gradually add the flour to the batter and continue
  to mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth and shiny. Cover the bowl
  with a clean, damp kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place until
  the batter has doubled in volume, approximately 1-hour.
  
  Generously grease a ring mold or bundt pan. Beat the risen dough for
  2-minutes and then transfer the dough to the baking pan. Let the
  batter rise, uncovered in a warm place until it has doubled in volume,
  again. Approximately 30 to 35-minutes. Batter should now reach the top
  of the mold or pan.
  
  Pre-heat oven to 425-F degrees and bake for 25 to 30-minutes, or until
  a cake tester comes out clean. if necessary, run a knife around the
  edge of the mold or pan and invert the cake on a rack to cool for at
  least 15-minutes.
  
  Prepare the syrup while the cake is cooling. In a small saucepan,
  combine the water and sugar. Simmer until the sugar is completely
  dissolved, approximately 10-minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and
  cool slightly, then add the rum and stir.
  
  Place the cooled cake on a plate and poke holes all over the cake with
  a skewer or toothpick, then pour the syrup slowly and evenly all over
  the cake. Let stand. Use a large spoon to baste the cake every
  10-minutes with the syrup that collects on the plate. Repeat the
  process until almost all of the syrup is absorbed, then serve. Serves
  6-8 This is a traditional Russian Christmas dessert.
