i didn't go to the hospital today, but my mom said that he had a good day. he finally gets to eat. not regular food however. it has to be covered in some kind of sauce or pureed. it's hard to believe that this is the first time he has eaten in 24 days! i am hoping that this will help him move in the direction he needs to be heading. he had his cast replaced with just a splint on the pinkie finger only. my mom said he didn't even try to take it off once. and, it's much lighter than the other thing he had (he kept complaining that is was so heavy he couldn't lift his hand). he still continues to take off his neck brace every few minutes. he is so tricky doing this. even if we are talking to him, we don't realize that he is undoing the strap or loosening it. they told us at the beginning of this whole nightmare that he would only have to wear it for 6 weeks, so i guess he only has 3 more to go. my mom is staying at the hospital again tonight. she hasn't left in about 5 days. luckily they bring her a food tray, or i have a feeling she wouldn't eat because she won't leave him alone for more than a few minutes. anyway, thanks to everyone for your nice e-mails. my dad (and mom) have really enjoyed reading them and hearing from you all.

Amy- Thanks again for the daily comments. I am glad that he is finally getting to eat something, and that he only has to have a splint on his finger instead of a cast. I am glad that he had a good day today. I can't believe your mom hasn't left the hospital in 5 days, she is probably ready to collapse. I feel so bad for her, and all that she has gone through. Oh, by the way, I got those white shoes from children's place for Hannah, they look so cute! Thanks
