Sunday afternoon

Dad's been awake for a couple of hours and been talkative. He sent an email to take care of some church work (he was asked to be in charge of the Friends of Scouting campaign next month and has decided he may not be able to do that assignment-(that's progress, we didn't even have to twist his arm!) So for those of you involved in scouting, make a donation so that Dad will feel like he was still able to help! A couple of the doctors have been in and he's doing well. He's completely off of his pain medication and seems to be doing fine without it. He hasn't eaten very much today but enjoyed a few nuts and some ice water. We've ordered some oatmeal and peanut butter (always good eating!) as well as a regular dinner so we're hoping something will taste good to him. He can look out the window of his room and commented that the sun was going down so I think that he is now able to keep track of time better than he has been the last few days (and he cares which is always a good sign!).
