Plenty of good news today. Faina was relieved of one more tube (that connected to a bag), generally speaking another step toward heading out the front door. From her left hip she only has the "just in case" feeding tube that, thus far, has not been needed.
She has not lost any weight. OK, she is probably full of IV fluid, but still, she looks healthy, radiant, in fact, kenahora. The biggest news of the day, a first meal. It happened to be the regular hospital fare, loaded with things straight from the list of foods "To Avoid" that the nutritionist gave her a few hours earlier. Maybe someone did not get the memo about a restricted diet or perhaps it was a test of her resolve. At any rate, her first solid food in nine days was chicken breast and mashed potatoes.
After another trip around the 4th floor we can safely say room C-19 is the cheeriest of them all. Adding to the visual appeal, an amazing balloon bouquet from friends at Beth El.
