Well, as expected, last night was not good. John slept for two hours and then needed to get up and sit in his chair. He wasn't tired so we sat up for awhile. However, when he eventually got tired and went back to bed, he was able to sleep through until about 10am this morning. One of the blessings of tube feeding is that I can give him his meds without even waking him up.
Today was a good day for John. I think the antibiotics are already working, and he is coughing much less.
This afternoon I popped out to the post office and when I got back he was working on his computer, which he has not felt like doing in some days. Then he decided to come and sit with me on the balcony and enjoy the great weather. It was lovely.
This evening Zeke and Ita came to visit. They are staff from Gateway. They were impressed with how much louder John's voice was than their last visit and could see that the voice therapy has worked. Considering that this was in the evening when he often cannot speak, this was a VERY good day.
Thanks for the many prayers.

The other day a friend came to visit and commented that she did not know if she should contact me on my e-mail because of the blog. Please do. This is not for personal communication, just a way to keep people updated on John's condition and needs.

You can contact me any time at blombard688@gmail.com or by signing up as a follower on the blog site.

Better make this a two thumbs up day!!!
