The Long Day is Over

I've been working on this photo journal for a few days now in the quiet times when Clem was sleeping. I've never done one of these before so there are imperfections that I hope to someday work out. Maybe I will even read the help menu. Anyway, I have entitled this The Long Day is Over because of our recent experiences and I have included music of the same title by Nora Jones. Hope you enjoy.

We seem to have turned a corner now. He is resting well with the aid of "Sargeant Valium" (Clem's name for the drug) after eating most of a bowl of potato soup and some peach cobbler. The biggest indicator that things have turned is his desire for food. He has actually said wow! that tastes good!

Hopefully tomorrow will bring the exit of the drain and a possible discharge from the Hospital if he continues to improve. He is getting up and down great, walking fine, and is handling the care of his ileostomy. His fluid balance is his last obstacle and I have a feeling that we are on our way to resolving this too.
