in a regular room

Mark continues his amazing recovery, as we are moved in to our home for the next week or so. The picture below was taken right after we moved in. The room is pretty big, with a view of a couple of trees past the parking lot. The fellow just came by and ordered the central line in his neck removed. The NG and art line came out this morning. Last night, he had 13 tubes, now he is down to 6. Mark says: "thanks everyone for all the happy thoughts. You are keeping me going." Ditto from me on that one.
