now we're up in the big leagues...

gettin our turn at bat...

sorry - just going with the jefferson's theme...

dad is doing AmAAAAzing... catheter - gone... ng tube - gone... bp iv - gone... epidural - gone... ability to eat - BACK...

for the past few months dad hasn't been able to eat anything solid... for the few weeks before his surgery water was hard to get down... so, with apologies to probably everybody, today i saw my dad eat like a runaway slave... granted, it was only cream of mushroom soup, but holy crap did he suck it down... doc says he should get out of there tuesday or wednesday... everybody knows how strong dad is, but i can't believe how well he is doing after all of this...

i would like to send a personal thanks to everybody that has stopped by to see him, sent cards, posted comments on this blog, posted facebook comments and brought beer mug shaped balloons... it's nice to know there are so many people out there pulling for my dad... i'm sure that dad would agree with me when i say "you guys rock"... much love...
