The Physical Therapist, Paul, came to visit Rick today and gave him a workout he can do with his stretchy band, while sitting in the chair. He showed Rick 4 arm exercises today and will come back on Tuesday to show him leg exercises. Although the brief workout tired Rick, his eyes were just glowing to be working out again.
Dr. Shaw is the lucky thoracic doctor on call today. He came by because he wanted to see the liquid that was pulled back from Rick's stomach. He said he thinks it may be some blood but it is mixed with bile and normal stomach acid. He and Ann Mongiu discussed changing Rick's cappucino feed because he thinks there is another one that is more soothing to the stomach. It has less calories per cc though, so they decided to take it back to the team.

I'm glad that someone finally thought of this idea - Rick needs to keep moving, it is not in him to just sit there.
