Patient's Progress

The Patient has notified his doc that he is ready to have the feeding tube removed. Big step! He has taken all calories by mouth for a week and has decided it is time to go all the way. He can still use the supplements in milk shakes along with some ice cream for an extra caloric boost. Surgery will be scheduled for after we return from our trip to Bozeman to visit Cait and Mike. In about three weeks he should be tube-free. Good job! It will have taken him 8 months to recover enough to be without. That's about average. If you know him you know that the word "average" just doesn't apply!

The crepe myrtles are in bloom in town. These trees look like big scoops of raspberry sherbet. Picture tomorrow.
