Sisters Sue and Joan have taken over as “Rod’s Recovery Coordinators.”

We had a really long and busy day today. We spent about 6 hours at the hospital while Rod got his IV fluids and medicines to support anything he was lacking. The doctor is a very nice woman and seems very caring and knowledgeable. She spent a good long time answering questions and checking Rod over thoroughly. He is doing great and is progressing faster than most patients do.

When we returned to the apartment about 3 pm, Alex, Amanda, Vic and Todd came over and we spent the evening visiting. Rod, Sue and I were all very pleased to see them and have their company.

Rod ate chicken soup, cottage cheese, peaches and two of Becky’s cowboy cookies for supper, took his medications and went to bed. He was tired but had a good day.

We are pretty tired too. We will write more tomorrow.
