Here's a little known fact about Marty...you know the green jell-o with pears that is on all hospital menus? Dad loves it! Now that he is eating more and doing well on the swallow studies, he was able to feast on green jell-o with pears. Yum-o! (not!) I wonder what it would taste like if the nutritionist made up a special batch of Dad's favorite tapioca flavored with green jell-o (is it lime flavored?!?!?) and garnished with pears.
The pulmonologist looked at Dad's latest chest x-ray and his left lung is looking better. He is off the vent during the day and back on at night. They will start to wean him off it at night and when he has been off for a full week, Dad and Mom will be off to rehab at RIC in Chicago. The second CDIFF test came back negative...only one more to go! The best news, besides the green jell-o of course, is that Dad's physiatrist, Kurt Smith, felt some movement in Dad's wrist today. Little by little...
Dad, enjoy the football game and the jell-o. I don't know if you are a "roll tide" or a "hook-em horns" guy but whatever the outcome of the game tonight, it doesn't matter because Iowa won!
stay warm everyone! love suz
by the way, as lonnie would say, "another hot nurse" pic below...
