Evening

(entry by proud father)
This was certainly a red letter day in Mark’s recovery. He had his first food by mouth since November 28 (about 10 half-teaspoons of apple sauce) which he ingested with no problems. He talked in his normal voice, whether he covered the trach tube or not! He had his first visitor (Cousin Bev) and talked up a storm (Chris’s description.) He seems to get stronger hour by hour.
