Thanks.......

I never realized how important nutrition is. I just figured eating isn't going to cure him..........and I realize it's not, but it should help him in other ways. Trouble is he has to have his food pureed right now. I guess his swallowing muscle isn't very strong because of his illness and age, and they worry that he is aspirating his food into his lung instead of going into his stomach, which in turn can cause the pneumonia to come back.

Today might have been a little better of a day, but it's been such a long time........approaching 6 weeks that he hasn't been home. I know we have to keep fighting. If he could just kick this pneumonia for good, we might be able to get him back on track.

Everyone is in my Prayers, as always.........
