Starving...

Dad has had a great day. He is complaining that he is hungry so our nurse begged and got him ice chips (one every hour or so). He has spent much of this day off oxygen (pretty impressive for a guy who had his left lung removed yesterday). He really only needs oxygen when he falls into a deep sleep. Tomorrow he should get to hang his legs over the side of the bed and sit up. He is so strong, all those mornings at the gym are definitely paying off.

    that's my big brother! I can just see him now - by tomorrow all of the nurses will be his pals! and hopefully they will start feeding him soon.
