Hello

Eric has shown significant improvement over the last week. He's able to take clear liquids now but is still supplemented with feeding through his J-tube. Expect this to go on for a few months until he can receive all his nutrition by mouth. He's taking several walks a day and his strength is returning quickly. All of the signs and symptoms of pneumonia he experienced 3 weeks ago have resolved. He had his pleural tube removed today and all looks good. I expect him to be released from the hospital sometime near the end of the week. Then he'll head to a Denver hotel for a few days then back home to Aspen for more recovery. Take care....tom
