At about 8:30 pm tonight they moved dad from the ICU to a private room on the fifth floor. He’ll be discharged in the morning.

After getting to his new room, the nurse asked if he’d like some ice cream. The smile on his face was just delightful. She brought in some ice cream and he devoured it. The apppetite is coming back. He’s ready to get out of here. He says he’s feeling better than he has in a while.

Eileen and Phil went back home this morning. It sure was good to have them here. I think we’re on the home stretch.
