Day Eighteen

Happy Birthday, Mike!  Today we celebrated his birthday and he said he was thrilled to be able to celebrate another year.  Mike's appetite has been improving slowly as his sodium levels go back up.  He seems to have more energy today and is walking with a lot more spring in his step.  The surgeon said he probably felt so bad last week because his sodium was so low, but now that it is getting back to normal, he's feeling better.  He's still getting an IV transfusion every afternoon.  He has another post-op scheduled for later this week.

Day Five

No updates yet because we are all back to work now that Mike is out of the ICU.  We'll post something in the early afternoon once we can touch base with the nursing staff.

One thing that is certain is that tonight Mike is having two very special visitors - his granddaughters Lilly and Abby.  He hasn't seen them in a week so no doubt he is excited about this visit.

Here they are on Father's Day last year:
