Discharged!

Dad has escaped the label of inpatient once again.  Here he is sitting on our hotel balcony enjoying the sweltering Houston summer.  We are thrilled to have him “home” and are looking forward to continued improvement.  He’s on a soft diet now and that will be re-evaluated tomorrow during a x-ray swallow test to make sure he’s getting the food and air down the correct pipes.

He’s also getting around a lot better than he was before possibly due to the back and hips having had time to heal from the radiation treatments.  It really is great to see him stand with very little problem and move around.

After another week or two the team will decide on a treatment plan, that now includes many more options than it did a week ago, and we’ll know where he’ll go from here.  For now however, we are just happy to have him back!
