food glorious food!

So it has been a banner day so far for Dad. He began it this morning with mashed potatoes, followed it up with a banana at 10 and a bowl of chicken soup from AuBonPain. He has also switched from Boost supplements to Ensure (less sweet, he likes it much better!) and is approaching 1000 calories for the day before dinner! This is exactly what he needs to gain some weight and to make up for the 3 weeks of not eating real food (I'm not counting the tube feedings because that's not really eating!)

He seems so happy today and is currently sitting and discussing basketball with Bucky. We are all sitting in the room waiting for the nurse to come and hook his potassium drip up so we can take a good walk off the floor and into the rest of the hospital. We have been waiting so long for good news and now we have had two days in a row.

Keep the good thoughts and prayers coming! We need more days like this.
