He is off the morphine and the oxygen so there are no more tubes around his face. With help he can get out of bed and walk around a bit. He has lost a lot of weight but today he looked like Dad again. He doesn't remember much of the last few weeks (thanks to the morphine) but he did laugh tonight when I told him some of the things he said last week.
He does have two bags of food they are feeding him via the Hickman line and for now all he can take orally is water. He still has trouble with diarrhea so until that gets better he can't have solid food. He is hungry for some things which is great news but what's funny is that he's now craving the fruit candy Uncle Ron loves.
We are very excited to report that the doctors are actually mentioning going home. He does have to start eating and get the diarrhea under control (sorry if this is over-share but it is what it is!) and his counts have to continue to climb but if they do he can go home! They've even mentioned in or around the next 10 days! Dad is so wanting to go home and after 7 weeks in the hospital he is very motivated to get to that day.
He is up for visitors but we do ask if you'd like to visit to please schedule it with Ed or Ang de Haan. They are coordinating the visits so it doesn't get to be too much for Mom or Dad.
We do know that anything can change but we praise our Heavenly Father for what he has done for Dad. Give thanks to the Lord for He is good!

Thanks for the posts again, Ang. Just reading this Sunday night, and what a great way to end a Sunday. Hearing the promises in church and seeing some of His work by reading this blog. May He continue to be with all of you in the coming days.
