Harv's doing much better... He had already done 15 laps around the floor this morning when we got there . The doctor came in while I was there and she said that it sounded like there was a little bit of movement in his small intestine.

She said they would try an experiment and let him have as many clear liquids as he wants today. If he accepts those with no nausea or vomiting, then they'll take it as a sign that things are moving in the right direction. She said that the bowels shouldn't go unused for too long a period. So giving it a slow and gentle try at being used will test the waters a bit.

It appears that he's lost a fair bit of weight, but his spirits are good, his voice is strong and he feels like reading the paper and stuff. ☺  He said he had a very good night's sleep last night and that helps a lot.

So it appears that things are lookin' up! Keep praying, please.

Thank you to everyone who's pitching in and bearing with me.

Love you, people!
