Sunday morning

I stayed over at Aaron and Marlene's last night = and got a late start back to the hospital.
When I came in this morning = Tim was up and eating jello. Said he had been out for his morning walk - and had done 4 laps. A doctor had been in - and said he was progressing well. He indicated that while up walking - he finally passed gas. Terrible to think that we measure progress by body functions......but that is a terrific sign! He took a little sponge bath and is all nice and clean!! And smelling better!! haha
He has a port in his neck from surgery - and they have come in today to remove it. He also has an IV in his left hand - that has to be changed to another location.
His blood pressure is running a little high..... so we will see what they do for that. The doctors aren't worried, but the little LPN is.....
Each day he seems to be getting better - a ways to go yet - but amazing how well he is doing! He still has some minor pain - but looking at his opening - I'm surprised he can move at all. I don't even think Frankenstein had an incision as big.
He has a private room at the end of the hallway. It is nice and quiet here - great for resting! He has a huge window that looks out over the interstate and you can see IUPUI, Riley, etc. The windows on the other side look at a brick wall - so this is nice.
Tim says HI to everyone reading!!
We probably won't know a lot more until tomorrow when his "real" doctor comes back in. For the weekend - he has the "team" looking after him. I think they are IUPUI med students. They are very good - and knowledgeable.....
