The sun comes out

We're having a sunny day here. When the "worrisome" doctor showed up, she had no new thing to worry about! She even 'lowed that he was in much better shape than what she'd expected. His numbers are still going in the wrong directions (as expected) but more slowly. They're even pulling back on some of the antibiotics that they think are unnecessary now.
His blood calcium is still high and along with the steroids accounting for his mental state. Gil is very much in a waking dream state. We can get some coherence when we ask him something that is direct, but most of what comes out of his mouth is dream talk, good and sweet dream talk but definitely not tracking with our now. I've been trying to catch what he's saying to remember and tell him later, but it's pretty hard to parse.

Bob and Roberta just showed up; he was delighted. His hospital room has become a living room and when Adam magically pulled lovely containers of hot food out of his bag last night, a 4 star restaurant. I would have never thought 2 days ago that we would have this time. I intend to relish it and be curious about what's next.

Glad you captured some of the day's sunshine, even if was of the non-solar variety.

Love to you both!
