The roller coaster ride goes on… but there is more good news this morning and the ride seems not quite as unpleasant at the moment. Sounder and Channel Man continue to make strides in their recoveries. Sounder has begun to drink more water and eat larger quantities of his special food, and even more importantly he is keeping them down. At the hospital, Pop had a good night and his vital signs are good. His lung function continues to improve and he is critically stable. His intestinal tract is rumbling back to life and doctors can hear things moving along inside him again, which is a very good thing. He had the day off from dialysis yesterday, so they will likely be resuming the sessions today and will undoubtedly be continuing to work on the “de-Michelinization” effort.
