Day 3

Chad called us in the hotel this morning saying, "Bring me some food", but of course we couldn't. It's a good sign that he is hungry. He had the catheter and abdominal drainage tubes removed this morning and took a shower on his own. He is on a soft food diet, but needs to eat small amounts slowly so that his digestive system starts functioning again. He ate a small amount for breakfast but was not feeling great in the middle of the day. By dinner however, he ate an entire cheeseburger, some banana cream pie, and was then messing around on his laptop. It's great to see him acting like a teenager.
