And the good news from the four of us (Lynn<\/strong> [aka “Squatch”<\/em><\/strong>], JLA<\/strong>, Joanne D<\/strong>, and myself, SoINeedAName<\/strong>) continues to roll along.<\/p>\n

We’re able to post another very good update combining input from phone calls and a visit by a close friend of his, who has been very kind in keeping the info flowing to us.<\/p>\n

Paradoxically, one of the most encouraging signs in recovery is when the patient actually starts to complain.  So we can conclude that TC is definitely on the road to recovery!  It may not be full-throated, but he is voicing his druthers to the staff.<\/p>\n

He’s also now taking solid sustenance PO (per os<\/em> – by mouth), as he’s lost his NG (naso-gastric<\/em>) tube.  While the food may not be as solid as he would like, it is a solid step in the right direction. <\/p>\n

(Word has gotten out, and apparently the nursing staff has BANNED anyone from sneaking in any of TC’s infamous bean concoctions from his freezer.  They’re worried that the “end”<\/em> results might set off all the smoke alarms!  And who can blame them?)<\/p>\n

Good News \/ Bad News: He does have his laptop back now.  But apparently while being stored away it developed some type of glitch, so it’s not up and running … yet.  Hopefully he’ll get a geek-head to fix the bugs.<\/p>\n

Some just straight good news – the visitor was able to snap a candid shot of TC on Sunday while enjoying watching his beloved Broncos.  (She said the beer in the picture is hers, because TC doesn’t drink, I don’t think).<\/p>\n

So we’re all glad to see that he’s continuing to make progress, and ask you to keep him in your thoughts and prayers – AND keep those cards and letters coming, addressed as follows …<\/p>\n
