report on marathon man.

We have made miles and miles of progress today. Mike's head is clearing from the drugs and he has not needed any pain killers. He is able to rest and nap (which he is doing right now.) His physical strength & stamina have amazed me all along and today we made numerous trips around the nurses' station and two trips off the 6th floor, down the elevator and outside. The thing that wears him out most is eating & swallowing, and he is doing great. He had over 20 bites of custard and managed to get some Ensure nutrition drink down the gullet. All in all he scored all of his 26 marathon points! Three cheers for Mike!
