Not much to report today.  When Dr Mokadam came in this morning, John was in bed eating some fruit.  He said beds were for sleeping, not eating.  In other words, the chair is a better place to hang out except for when he needs to sleep.  So John has done just that, when he's not napping he is sitting in his chair enjoying the view.

We have been approved to come and go for walks as we want.  I can unhook his IV pole and take the suction off his drainage tube.  He just gave himself a sponge bath and changed his pj's.  Physical Therapy stopped by and walked with us once.  He now walks without a walker.

He now has his phone and computer and I can trust him to make good decisions.  I don't feel that I need to be here during shift changes, so I'm going to head home soon.  I'll check in tomorrow.
