The lump on Ed's head - where the tumor lays beneath bone and skin and titanium - has gone down. It appears the swelling in his face has gone down, also. Mama reports that he has one bout of diarrhea, but nothing serious. She also says that Ed has been doing more to take care of his personal needs such as getting a drink from the fridge and bathing unassisted. One morning he stood from the kitchen table and walked to the stove without his walker. She is unsure if he did this on purpose, or just forgot to use it! She is excited by his progress and I think this boosts both my Mama and Ed's moods and spirits. His speech has not improved a whole lot, but he has taken to wearing his dentures more often and I do think that helps with his speech being more easily understood.
Here are pictures taken this weekend:
