Off the IVs!

The big news for today is that they have taken Grandpa/Dad/Bob off of all the IV machines. This means that he is in less pain and is managing his pain by asking for medication rather than getting it constantly. This shows how much better he is feeling. It also shows that he is getting stronger since he is now eating rather than getting anything via tubes or IV lines.

I realize that it is hard to believe that he has changed so much - and turned such a corner - when so many of you have seen him at a point where we weren't sure what happened. I have had an amazing time with Grandpa and it has been such a relief to see how he has changed just in the week.

Here he is relaxing with Grandma during a visit:




He still isn't quite ready for a lot of visitors, but where he can talk now it shouldn't be long. He does love getting your cards, emails, and love!

Best,
