Howdy all. Atlanta is a go. Geoff leaves Monday morning at 9 AM by air ambulance from Pensacola. Geoff is in room 245 for anyone interested in visiting before he leaves. On the days events, Geoff ate REAL FOOD for the first time in almost a month. OK, it was hospital food so that's as real as it gets at this point. Geoff had rice, fish, banana, and a dinner roll, washed down with ice tea. Kinda weird is that everything has to have blue dye added to ensure it goes the right way and nothing blue comes out of his trach. Geoff was even able to use the spoon to feed himself. Photo's coming!!! (He is so done with the dad and photo thing, but what's he going to do?). Nurse asked mom to bring in shoes because his feet are getting issues associated with laying in bed for prolonged periods. Threw his socks to him, he put them on for Grandma and Grandpa, needed help with the shoes though. Then Geoff decided since we were dressed we may as well get up for a bit. Geoff sat up, put his legs over the side of the bed, and started to stand up. After we addressed his desired final rest location (the recliner, duh, dad) he put his hands on my shoulders and stood up. Moved the padding to the recliner and after several steps to the recliner, sat down. Looked quite proud of himself. He should be, I was!!!
