Cherry Popsicle

Today was a good day, we added some flavor into his sad feeding tube diet (throat still healing) and you guessed it...a cherry popsicle. We have to chop it up into little pieces, however, but he really enjoyed tasting again. He has had lots of visitors today so hopefully we have tired him out enough to sleep better tonight. He also has been doing physiotherapy everyday and needless to say that is both painful and tiring. Although it's hard to sit at a hospital all day, just ask Craig :-) it's joyous to see him smile, carry-on conversations and fist-bump his friends as they come to see him. Every day he overall is a little better than the last. Our next goal is to get him to be able to phone and email and hopefully by the weekend that may be a possibility. Unfortunately I'm frustrated that my two requests to meet with the Attending have failed and I'm still waiting again, so I don't know the prognosis of his kidney failure. He goes for dialysis three times per week currently. Obviously, this is our BIG concern right now. I guess I will go try again. I'll be in touch!
