Dad can now eat semi solid foods!!!! Yesterday he was upgraded to any liquid he wanted. That was pretty fun. He wanted to taste everything they had including soda, tea and all juices. Today he was told he could have mashed up foods. He told me for dinner he had steak and green beans all mashed up. Unfortunately he said it was really gross. But at least he is making progress. They are talking about moving him into a rehab facility, maybe even tomorrow. The place he will go to is really nice. It is a very communal atmosphere. He will go to a dining room for all the meals and they have tons of group activities. He is pretty excited to talk to other people besides me and the nurses!! They said people really seem to flourish when they get there since it is not so hospitalish. This is all so exciting and I thank everyone for keeping him in your thoughts and prayers.
