Day 51 hour 9

Today was a "free day at rehab for Tony"(no therapy). We spent a couple of hours in the hospital grounds outside and got take out from BJ's. Tony got the chicken Alfredo and ate every noodle of his lunch. that was good to see as he only weighs about 126 pounds right now and I know it was full of calories. ( I never imagined I'ld ever think it was a good thing to eat something full of calories.) He has been doing a pretty good job eating all his hospital meals because he knows he needs to but he hasn't enjoyed them much.
Tony also did a little bit of walking down the hallway. After that we went to a Church Service in the hospital for all the patients that wanted to attend. We are still thinking Tony can go home on Wednesday afternoon but we are not sure how taking out the drain will affect the timetable. The ultrasound they did on Friday didn't give them a clear enough picture and they said they were going to do another one this week. Tony wasn't supposed to eat anything after midnight the night before the ultra sound. Since they didn't say anything about not eating tomorrow morning I don't think they will do the ultrasound tomorrow. They also said on Thursday they wouldn't do the procedure on the same day as the ultrasound. They said it would be an out patient procedure at a hospital in La Habra so I'm thinking they may want to do it on Wednesday after we leave Rancho but we haven't been told by the doctors what the plan would be.
