Dad ate three square meals of solid food today. He looks better every night.
Some of you have noticed the neck collar in the pictures. Dad has slight fractures in the outside part of his C6 and C7 vertebrae. The doctors are not concerned, but want him to wear the neck collar until they can run more scans on it. They could not run the scans until he was able to follow their commands (lean forward, lean back, etc). He will likely be wearing a soft collar after the scans.
