Moving Forward Again?

I say that tentatively because it seems that every time Daddy is doing better, something else happens, so I think we're all proceeding cautiously. However, in the past 2 days, several very good things have happened. They did a CT scan to make sure that there is no more fluid collecting in his abdomen or lungs, and it came back clear so they took out all the drains. Also, Daddy has been given the all clear to eat "whatever he wants," and while he hasn't taken full advantage of that yet, he has been eating some solid foods at every meal. He still has the drain in his stomach, but has not been using it (i.e., his digestive system is processing the food). He is still getting a little loopy in the afternoons/evenings, and we aren't sure why, especially since it's not consistent, but he definitely has periods where he's lucid and interacts like normal. He's also starting to get his voice back so it's easier to have a conversation with him. He definitely benefits from visitors, but tires easily so shorter visits work best for now. If you do visit, invite him to walk with you -- he may decline, but that's one of the things that will help him get home quicker. Thanks for your prayers -- keep praying!!
