Thursday: Nourishment & Movement

 
Bob wants to know: What is his contract with the doctors?  They realize that he is a goal guy, and the attending says, "Eat as much as you can, and move as much as you can."  This has become the focus of Bob's day.  His feeding tube has been removed, so he is calculating calories and getting out of bed several times each day these past couple of days.  Today, taking a walk with the physical therapist, he was determined to go all the way to the garden and back. The nurses and staff came out to watch, clapped and cheered as he went by.  They all love his spirit.
