Sunday, May 3rd

Tim is beginning to make some progress with his eating. He finished the "Muscle Milk" drink at breakfast, ate a chicken drumstick at lunch with 3 bites of vegetables, and planned to drink another shake at dinner. Donna feels like he is slowly getting some strength back. The stitches in his head are very painful at this time. They should be removed later on this week. The peg tube (feeding tube in his abdomen) will be removed shortly thereafter. Tim cannot hear out of his right ear at all. While he was in the ICU, that ear often had bloody drainage. We're hoping that it just needs to be cleaned out, and not damaged. Tim went to church today. Church is something that is non-negotiable in Tim's opinion, he is going. I didn't hear of any problems afterwards.
