Happy Hump Day!

Hi Everyone :)

What a way to start off a Wednesday! Good news from Cleveland :)

Pop had a much better night last night and got some good rest. He also has an appetite again! Now, for any of you who know my dad (hehe most of you), you know that appetite has never really been an issue with the man. This morning he slammed down some French Toast and really seemed to enjoy it!! Mom says he is in a good mood and I could hear him chatting it up in the background while I was on the phone with her this morning.

The kidney doctor came in this morning and reported a DECREASE in his creatinine levels (kidney function) which is super good news. They are still high, but any creatinine decrease is very much welcome in this journey. 

Mom has become quite the toughy in the past few months. She is now not only wife, mom, and nurse, but also physical therapist! haha. She has told Pop that he will now eat all meals while sitting upright in a chair as opposed to being in bed. She is also planning on taking him for a walk today. Way to go Mama!! Pop was feeling so good this morning that he even called Grandma and Grandpa! 

Right now the doctors are saying that Mom and Pop should be able to go home before the weekend, so we are all shooting for Friday at this point. Of course, that can change at any time, but here's hoping!

Thanks for the support and love and prayers and all that goodness! We love you all very very much.

Hi Susan,

Glade to hear the good news about my brother and your Pop. I tried to call on Friday but no answer oh well.
Keep up the postings and tell Ray hello for me.
