A Beautiful Day in the Fort!

It has been two weeks since Jim was admitted to the hospital. Even though we know we are in for a long journey, it is amazing to see how much he has improved over a two week period of time. The day he was admitted and for a few days after, he was so very sick.

He called today and asked me when I would be coming up because he wanted to go outside again to enjoy the beautiful weather we’ve been having. And he finally uttered the words I’d been suspecting, “I’m getting a little bored.”

Today was a good day. Jim felt well and had some energy. His mouth is still sore – about the same as yesterday – and he has gone entirely to a soft food diet. He did enjoy some soup I took up to him and also enjoyed his visitors. This evening, he kicked back with some friends and watched Monday Night Football. That is something he looks forward to all week.

We know there will be good days and bad days, but we are thankful for these good days when Jim feels well. We are also thankful for those friends who visit. It lifts our spirits as we take this one step at a time. Thank you again for your love and prayers.
