We had a pretty good weekend. Al is feeling much better. He is back to drinking shakes and plenty of water and Gatorade. He even managed to get down some soup. He is still pretty frustrated about not being able to eat real food yet. He did a little bit of yard work yesterday, but stopped and came inside when he got dizzy. He is going to have to start off slowly and listen to his body. It'll take a long time for him to get his energy back, but he is on the road to recovery. We saw the doctor on Friday and he got more fluids because his kidney function still wasn't right on Wednesday. They took blood again on Friday, but we haven't gotten those test results back yet. His mouth is still pretty beat up, but everything seems to be healing nicely. He hasn't needed any breakthrough pain medicine for several days now, so they'll probably lower the dosage of his pain patch in a week or so.
