Rick began the day in the intensive care unit. (No cell phones and two visitors at a time. Call before you come in and we may make you wait outside the door for 30 minutes!) Holly got up very early and dashed to the hospital, bringing shoes for Rick to walk in and a heart set to make it a great day for her dad.
And so it was. We have had a great day. Rick walked 5 times and after 24 hours of drinking the high protein drink, Boost, he was allowed to have a banana. He tried to make the elongated yellow fruit last, but it was gone so quickly. He had to just sit back and smile at the memory of the sweetness of it's taste! Isn't it curious, how quickly we can be reduced to the basics. A smile or a hearty walk around the hospital corridor can be such a gift. We have been on a good path today. Pray that it continues.
