Well, today just may be that "all-star" day we've been waiting for all week. Jason is off of all IV pole drips and only needs to be hooked up to the pole for his antibiotics. He is getting a massage right now so is enjoying that. Today was the first time I can say I have seen him smile. He got to see Spencer and he gave him a few kisses. Spencer just kept going in for more, putting his head into Jason's cheek.
He is eating more and walked without his walker this morning. We brought him in a new mattress pad and a fan for his hot/cold flashes.
He is making a conscious decision to make a big effort to eat and get well so he can get out of the hospital.
I will be leaving the hospital early today to go home and relieve Betsy since she is flying home tonight. What a blessing she has been for us and what a great opportunity for Spencer to spend some quality time with her as well as myself. This whole experience has definitely brought the importance of family, friends, and how precious life is every day. I thank God for the blessed life he has given us.
