Always the tough competitor, Dad continues to beat the odds and is doing amazingly well. This morning he passed a swallow study with flying colors, and so for lunch he had his first solid food--spaghetti and meatballs, to be precise. He's also been feeding himself using his
right hand, sitting independently, standing a bit, and taking a few tentative steps from bed to recliner. We are amazed by his progress.
The staff at Wake Med is taking excellent care of him, and Mom is doing well too. She is currently staying in a deluxe suite in the Heart Center Inn (thank you, Betsy McClain!), which is in the same wing of the hospital as Dad's room.
I'm heading back to Princeton this evening for a few days at work; I'll be back in Raleigh this weekend. I can't wait to see all that happens while I'm gone!
