Charlie's IV came out today, and he is being switched to oral medications. Tomorrow morning, the doctors will evaluate whether he can go home later in the day, but they have indicated that they are in no hurry and will see how he feels. He seems stronger today, has a better appetite and is able to concentrate a bit more. The fellow said he is just where they want him to be at this point.
It was fun to be able to watch horse racing yesterday on ESPN. Although New York City cable has a horse racing channel, the hospital does not carry it. In fact, we cannot even see horse racing on the computer, because we use the hospital-provided wi-fi, and any website with a connection to gambling (or to pornography or social networking) has been blocked, apparently to keep the employees focused on their jobs. Yesterday's racing was especially exciting for us, because we were thrilled to see our trainer, Christophe Clement, win the Arlington Million.
