Good appetite
Today was a good day as Carl was hungry and ate a better portion of his meals. I wasn't there for breakfast but I was there for lunch and dinner and was pleased on what he had eaten. He has lost so much weight and now we must build him up. We even brought a banana from home and also a fruit bar and he had that before lunch.

His bottom was so sore that they got medication to put on his butt that is used for burn victims and he is feeling 100% better in that area now.

We have so much snow and we shoveled early this morning (John & I). John, Rosemarie and Madeline went home from the hospital earlier so they could shovel but Tom already had moved the snow that was blown over. That was so nice of him to beat them. Maryann & I stayed until dad got through eating and we wanted to make sure that he got his ointment treatment before we left. What a slow, nasty drive home.

Our big concern yet is his voice. It is only a whisper and we must all get close to him to really hear him express himself and he needs to continue to drink thickened fluids.

We are looking forward to our visit on Wednesday.
