We were promoted from a clear liquid diet to a full liquid diet, which includes pudding. This was a success. We took a couple walks and then he had a great nap. After that, an honest to goodness shower. Now, we traded tasks of one of us holding his wound drain and one doing the washing, but it was still a shower and I think that's better than medicine for one's well being. After his shower, he took advantage of the upgraded menu and had me get him a coffee (a real one from a very strategically placed Starbucks). As with all us Portlanders, the coffee turned on his magical powers and we rocked another great walk, probably his best yet. There was some tomfoolery with the back of his robe after this, but I'm trying to keep this a SFW environment, given that a fair number of our audience includes co-workers.
Now I am a good wife, but I had to get out and grab a little of that sunshine for myself, so I headed out at 5 for a jog around Mt. Tabor and a little bit of vacuuming with the windows open (oh, do I know how to party..) Since I knew that John wouldn't be off his IV today, and therefore not able to get any of the sunshine on his skin, I tried my best to bring it to the room.
High hopes for some real sunshine tomorrow. Thanks for everyone's support and prayers and thoughts and good vibes. xo
