Nov 20, Friday morning.

Gage Aurelious, the 'Man of Steel' is having a good morning so far. A bit more awake and actually responding to people.  Physical therapy came by and played a couple games with him.  He stood for a couple of minutes, but mostly sat on his mom's lap.   No smiles yet, but getting closer?  Starting to get an appetite, not saying he is eating anything, but he is at least asking about it.  Right now he wants a taco from Taco Time (there is no Taco Time in Calif, he may have to settle for Taco Bell).  Anyway, it would be great if we could start eating.  He will get there, we are all confident of that.

Still dealing with a host of issues which are all slowly improving including blood pressure, right ventricle function, central venous pressure (CVP), cardiac output, kidney function, bed sores, fluid retention, IV functions, lung function, and other stuff I don't understand.  3 West is still a long ways away.

Noon.  In his loving 'hospital' voice Gage announced he wanted some tater-tots. So, being the obedient servant I am, I went and found some tater-tots. He ate one tot and decided he was done.  Hey, we are good with that, it was the first food he has had for a week.  Hopefully he won't vomit.

Flying home in this evening, excited to see the kids and snow.
