Hello,

Rick is doing very well and he will be going home today, earlier than originally expected. He has had some rough patches (Sunday was "the worst day of my life" when he had a few issues with some medications), but overall, he is recovering beautifully. He has his first solid food this morning in almost a week and his digestion seems to be going okay. He is in some pain and is overall pretty tired so we are going to hold off on any visitors until next week. We do have a home nurse lined up to help him during the day. We return to Hopkins on 9/15 to get a check-up and develop a plan for the coming months.

Thanks for everyone for their messages. He got them all and these truly brightened his days here!

I think this is my last post since I am no longer needed here - and that is a good sign for all of us -:)
