Banana pudding

Hi, again! I am glad to report that Mom is doing better today. She coped well with the assorted roto-rooter medical procedures, and had a good sense of humor when I talked to her. Dad said that she was much stronger, and they were both encouraged. She was very pleased about the balloons, letters, and cards she had received, so I want to thank everybody for being so kind.

Mom also ate some bland tomato soup and a few bites of banana pudding, and it stayed put. This is the first real food she has eaten since about 9/12. She is still getting fluids by IV.

Dad and Mom are both so enthusiastic about the care and the personnel at St. ___'s. They did not have a report about yesterday's abdomen ultrasound, or any other lab results. Perhaps since the Gastro doctor ordered those tests, he will have to be the one to bring the results.

Thanks so much to all of you for your concern and support. I appreciate your love and good vibrations. (Yes, it's a Beach Boys moment!)
