The testing never ends!!

Once more Jon was trucked over to the main hospital for more CAT Scans on his neck. Still testing for his range of motion on his neck (they removed enough of the halo so that he could touch his chin to his chest and tilt his head backwards). There was a doctor in the lab that said things looked good but the final word would be given by the neurosurgeon. Carol asked about the thoracic area. "That part is not healing well and is all messed up". Apparently it is curved in areas that should be not be curved.
As a result of the testing, he missed all of his therapy today. He is tired and worn out from all the testing but his mood still seems to be pretty good. He ate 2 bite size Snickers bars and a piece of apple pie today so he apparently has his appetite for sweets back!! He typically eats only a bite or two of his meat however, today he ate 1/2 of the meat!
Dad was here in the morning until about 2pm. Mom, Carol and Barb came late morning and stayed until early evening.
