Because they still do not want John sitting up, they have moved him back to the sand bed. He has developed a new small bed soar on his elbow. The open spots on his flap surgeries are healing very slowly. John is now being given a steroid to help his body with the healing process. I have started making some of his tube feedings in the hopes that better nutrition will also help. Today John had grass fed beef, sweet potatoes, kale, whole grain brown rice, blueberries, flax seeds, and turmeric  all blended in our new Vitamix. The nurses can not give him what I make, so if I can’t be here, John gets what the cafeteria whips up. In two weeks, the surgeon will do a bed side deep cleaning of John’s elbow wound.

    Vitamix…reminds me of the “protein milk” mom used to make us drink when we were in grade school. I feel for you John…I feel for you.
