Just Happy to be Alive

I can't say it enough, today is a great day.  Thank you Heavenly Father for the blessings you have given us today.  Graham has ALWAYS appreciated everyday he has been alive and is very grateful for his lungs and new lease on life.  However, I don't know if I have ever seen him more happy to be alive than he is today.  The man cannot stop smiling (neither can I).

He sat up for many hours today, doing his breath exercises, coughing with his heart pillow, and talking, talking, talking, joking, laughing, talking, joking....and he is now very tired, with a happy sore throat.  He is able to "eat" for the first time since Tuesday evening.  They brought him a nice liquid diet tray with Jello, Dr. Pepper, and chicken broth.  He took one sip of the broth and "What the HECK is this?  Cause this is NOT broth."  Unfortunately a friend and I were just leaving, so we ran faster laughing.  Hehehe

We are settling in to watch the Longhorns play.  We love you all - HOOK 'EM!
