Today was a good day. Joe ate a "hearty" breakfast today, almost half his cream of wheat and a 1/2 cup of coffee. Sounds like a little, but it's a lot more than usual. He is feeling good today, more perky. The new medicine helped him through the night with no vomiting, but he conveniently got sick when the doctor came in and asked how he was feeling. His blood pressure and temp remained steady and he's getting back some energy. He did keep his meds down today. No word yet though on when he may come home.
We got some bad news on another front though last night. For those of you who know the Shafer family, Steve Shafer found out some unfortunate news last night that he has a brain tumor. After several days of prolonged migraines, they determined he has a tumor in the cerebellum, near his spine. They did emergency surgery this afternoon and removed the tumor. Testing is being conducted now on the tumor. Our thoughts and prayers are with Steve and his family, who is like another family to us. Mark has been best friends with his son Matt since second grade, so this is rough news for us.
