baby steps.

I am proud to report that Mike made four trips walking to the nurses' station and back! Even standing up was hard this morning, so we are making progress. It would feel even bigger if he didn't feel so rotten. We are excited for all the drugs to move out of his system. He hasn't taken any pain medication since 5:40pm yesterday. We are hearing other stories about morphine's nasty side effects. (Thank you Nile & Leigh.) He was also able to get about 2 t. of frozen custard down - which is at least something! Hopefully more progress there tomorrow.

  2. Ask Mike if he KNOWS Ted Drewes....remind him that he only eats the sweet if he KNOWS the first name of the person who made it...he knows Ted's name...but does he know Ted!! HA!

    So...has he tried bananas yet!?! HA....jj

    Glad to hear you are improving!
