Friday, Jan 29th

Hello, Marion had an exhausting day. He walked, using the walker, from his room, down the hall to the nurses's station and past that a ways. It knocked him out for the rest of the day! But the whole crew was talking about his accomplishment! By lunch time he was so tired I got permission to feed him. He was so tuckered, he just wanted to go back to bed. He did stay up for lunch, but was back in bed shortly after, and slept soundly the rest of the afternoon. I had to wake him up for dinner. The UNR basketball game was televised starting at 6pm, so we watched that, and he ate dinner slowly, and ate more than he had at lunch. He has to eat a good percentage (75%) to have the feeding tube removed, and as tired as he is, eating is not at the top of his list yet. In good time, just as these other skills have returned, I'm sure.

Well, that's the news for tonight. We'll see what tomorrow brings. Some of the out of town kids are arriving this week-end, that will be great for his spirits! Many thanks for all your thoughts and prayers. Love, Sue
