One of the first things Morris asked me the day he was discharged from the hospital was, “when can we go to the beach?” We had gone a couple of times last year, prior to his getting sick, and then a couple of his better days while he was sick. And now that he had received his surgery and was feeling incredibly better – he was ready to go again. Fortunately, that afternoon was already open – I had only been planning to get caught up on some paperwork. So, we went to the beach that afternoon after stopping in the camp to pick up his brother, a couple of other friends, and some take-away chicken and rice.
Morris is doing very well. He’s been out of the hospital for a little over two weeks, has increased energy, humor, a spark in his eyes – and is putting some weight back on. It’s expected that in the very near future he will be re-settled to the U.S.A. We believe that all he is waiting for at this time is the all clear for travel from the doctors.
