One week mark

David is feeling better, thanks to a shower and some civilian clothing.  The digestive situation, however, is progressing on the slower side.  We are told by the doctors that this is not a bad thing, as individuals each recover at different rates.  There have been no complications, but of course David is sick of being in the hospital and would like to eat.  He hasn't had a meal in 8 days.  On the bright side, he has a few less tubes to worry about, hasn't had a roommate for two nights, and has a wall full of [pictures of] MAX!

Max, as you can see, sported new Sesame Street gear today.  Our family is a huge fan of the franchise.  He had a lot of fun, especially because his daddy read him is favorite book, Drummer Hoff.  He also tried hummus for the first time and loved it!

Readers note: The following portion was written at David and Jordan's request.  David especially thought it would be funny for me to post, and I would do anything to put a smile on his face.

My brother-in-law, Jordan, and I went to dinner at 10:30pm last night at Guzan on 86th Street and 3rd Avenue.  After looking at the menu which was in front of us on the sushi bar when we sat down, we ordered the "Tri Colored Don: 4 pieces tuna, 4 pieces salmon, 4 pieces yellow tail".  When the food came there were only three pieces of each.  Jordan inquired and was told that it only came with 3 each.  We showed our waiter the menu which clearly stated 4 pieces of each (just checked the on-line menu which states 4 pieces, too).  The waiter said that we ordered from the take-out menu which comes with 4 pieces, but dine-in option only comes with 3 pieces each.  He didn't apologize, didn't offer 3 more pieces, and to be honest was pretty rude considering we were clearly in the right.
