Day 14

We chatted with the physician's assistant today.  It looks like our target escape will be on election day.  We were again reassured that his wounds are healing well, but that we will be facing many follow-up visits on a variety of things.  He is having to stay in the hospital at this point because of his infection.  Again, not a wound infection but more of a flu/pneumonia bug that was exacerbated by the nine days of ventilation.

Bink has really been complaining about how bland the food at the hospital was.  Honestly I don't think anyone likes hospital food, but he was despising it.  Because he has not been eating I picked him up a bacon cheeseburger, but he was too tired to eat it.  Yesterday I picked up some McDonald's in an effort to bribe him to eat.  He has come to the conclusion that it is not the food that is bland, but in fact his taste buds are a bit off.  Knowing that, he is going to just gut through the food a little more happily at this point.

Hopefully just a few more days.  We both want to be home in time to vote!
