Dad has shown a little more improvement the past few days. He is actually eating fairly well now, and, as noted before, is quite alert and conversational.
While Dad does seem to be eating well, according to the doctor's report today, his liver is just barely functioning, and his body is actually absorbing very little of the nutrition that he is taking in.
To put it simply, we don't have time to be gentle about this anymore. If you are someone who has put off coming to see Dad but you want to do it while you can still actually have a conversation with him, you need to do it now.
