Yesterday after dinner, Tommy was treated to his first whirlpool bath--as the jets churned away, he was apprehensive at first, but he finally relaxed back in the impressive cradle-like contraption. The nurse's aide, Stefania, and I placed a warm washcloth over his eyes and then washed and sprayed him. He was in heaven. Today was another good day for Tommy--physical therapy in the morning with Tim, occupational therapy in the afternoon with Barb, and quite a decent beef pot pie for dinner, supplemented by gazpacho and fresh blueberries that I brought from home. When I left, he was watching the movie "War Games" on tv, tucked in and contented.
