It has almost been a week since Paul was admitted into the hospital. He is slowly getting better every day. He took his first bite of solid food in about 8 days on Friday night. However, he has a long way to go with eating. They have taken him off of the morphine drip, and he is now taking a pill form of another painkiller. Paul says his throat and esophagus still hurt, and sounds like it would be the equivalent of having a third degree sun burn on your throat. The main concern has been getting his pain level under control, then getting him back to drinking and eating. They are pumping fluids in him now. He is still very weak and will need to be in physical therapy. They will release him once he can start to eat solids and drink liquids. We appreciate all of the people who have stopped by to see him, and also for the flowers, gifts and cards. One always had to keep an eye on Paul. This picture is in his room.
