Wednesday and Thursday tubes start coming out and Charlie is hungry for “real” food again. We are back to Burger King for food he wants to eat. This may not be the end of his recovery – but it is the first HUGE step that we and so many others have been worried about. Now we anticipate recovery for some weeks in the hospital and some weeks near the hospital before we can bring him home. The timing was wonderful! Linda and Grandma Pat were in AZ with the van last week while Jerry stayed with Charlie. All the busy things the family did last week – and so this was the next best possible day! Of course, ANY day is a good day for a life-saving heart transplant! Thank God!
