The cigar club takes a field trip...

Minus the cigars and dominoes, a bunch of the guys showed up promptly at 3:00 (their usual meeting time) to have club! They all "yellow gowned up" (I wish someone had taken a picture) and Mom promptly left, not wanting to find out what really happened during club time. It seemed obvious to all who were there that today was one of Dad's best days since the middle of December. The spirit of the mind is so important for the healing of the body.

But wait...there's more! Dad is moving his hands/wrists back and forth so the dominoes may need to come on the field trip soon.

The supplements they are giving Dad through the feeding tube are really taking away his appetite. But, the docs are starting to cut the supplements back and he is eating more during the day. The green jell-o made two more appearances today, both at lunch (with a hamburger patty) and at dinner. I wouldn't be surprised if the waitstaff from the local Culver's would walk in with a deluxe burger for one of their favorite regulars.

Jeremy got into Des Moines tonight and I wonder what trouble the two will get into tomorrow. Jeremy doesn't have the best track record in hospitals so we'll have to wait and see...

So, I would like to update the old saying...when life gives you limes, make margaritas! Even if he is not squeezing the limes, we will all be drinking them soon!
