One day at a time


There was a time when Van wondered if he would ever like food again but today food is beginning to have an appeal.   Van ate a large cheeseburger and fries all by himself today and kept it down!  He’s also receiving half of a dose of TPN (Total Parenteral Nutrician) with all the vitamins, protein, etc.  going in through his I.V. (It looks like a milkshake).     I can tell he is getting stronger and feeling better because he is starting to tease the nurses.  Our motto is “One day at a time”.    We’ll see what new adventure tomorrow brings.

Tip:  I just learned how you can see the blog at full screen or a lot larger.  Firefox users:  if you have a mouse with a scroll button, hold down the control key and scroll your mouse button and your screen will go larger.   Internet Explorer users:  On the bottom right of your screen there is an arrow that you can increase the font/screen size.
