What an incredible day! So a full night without the NG Tube was much easier on his ability to sleep!
First thing this morning he was moved to soft foods! So breakfast consisted of eggs and half a banana! Then lots of walks!
We received some training for when he gets released. Yes, those discussions are starting! That's a great thing. His epidural was capped to test if he was ready to have it removed. He was also switched to oral meds!
He had some lunch as our awesome pastor, Justin came by for a visit! Alan enjoyed the visit, but was tired so it was short. His fabulous wife, Jennifer brought me lunch and I got some girl time!
When I got back from my lunch date, Alan's epidural had been removed! His mom also came to visit! After a nap, his catheter was removed! More walks! And more walks!
Then the best news of the day! HE HAD A SHOWER!!! It was challenging with 4 drains and an IV still in place, but he managed with assistance! Now we are walking after his grilled salmon, mashed potatoes, and strawberry jello dinner.
Dr. Wise One said this morning that he has never seen someone walk this much! I cannot sing Our Lord's gracious praises enough. He has managed Alan's pain and given Alan incredible strength and fortitude for this fight! I am so grateful for a man who fights this hard!
