naps
One thing we are noticing is Derek needs to take naps. I assume his brain is healing and needs the extra sleep.
He usually does well after a nap or a nights sleep. So we are encouraging him to take a nap during the day. It is very noticeable when he does not take a nap later in the day.
He is eating more now. He seems to be putting on weight slowly. That is good, because he was initially losing weight and then seemed stuck at about 48 for a while now. But as his appetite grows he is eating more and more. This is good. We have been encouraging him to eat for a while now He should be above 50 soon!
He loves his Kombucha! Kombucha is a fermented tea. it is typically low in sugar, tastes great, and has live probiotics. All of that is great for Derek's (and anyone's) health. He also likes the flavored ones too. Some of his favorites are Turmeric, ginger, Apple cider vinegar, mango, green machine, to name a few. Awesome!
Here are a few pics of a zoo trip.
That's all for now Folk

Thanks for the updates. Continuing in daily prayers Lyle and Judy
This is so encouraging. Hope he ends up having to go on a diet to lose weight. Glad he likes tea. I'm a real lover of all teas. GGGrandpa and I love the pics of the kids at the Zoo. They make us smile just looking at their faces. Hugs and kisses to all. Me and GGGrandpa Rudy.

Sleep is such a great healer, I wish we could all find time to nap in the day. Good for Derek to know that innately it is good, nice brain thoughts. Love and prayers and stamina to the lovely Young family. Judy
