Wednesday, Jan 4th

Another big day! When I arrived this morning, Marion was using the arm machine that looks like you are pedaling a bicycle. The he took a hike up and down the hall in his own tennis shoes and socks! Not a big thing you might say, but from where he has been, a huge accomplishment.

Then another graduation, no longer ground food and thickened liquids, but chopped food and thin liquids, which means water and regular juice! Music to his ears!! The next step is "whole" food, not any alteration at all when it arrives on his tray.

At 11:15am, I left to pick up Marion's sister, Adelia who was arriving from Riverside, CA. We got back to the hospital in time to join him as he finished his lunch. He was delighted to see his "baby" sister. They chatted all afternoon, and he even skipped his afternoon nap. Marion should have no trouble sleeping tonight. Once again, the progress is visible right before our very eyes! Thank you for your part in this through your support and prayers. Love, Sue
