Alert the Press!

Lars ate fruit. You read that right. Lars ate fruit. If any of you know Lars you know that he NEVER eats fruit. He loves fruit juices, but he has this idiosyncrasy about eating fruit. Anyway, as part of the swallow study, they gave him a small cup of pears and peaches (probably covered with barium or gastrograffin -- an xray dye). Delicious. He later told us he only did it because he hoped that they would give him more food if he were cooperative. I guess three days without food could make anything taste good, even fruit.

He continues to generally do well. He has been having more pain from the chest tube and they have increased his pain medication some. He breathes easier when he isn't in pain.

  1. Well Larzapan congrats on the consumtion of the fruit. Its odd to think that you are acutally doing what someone tells you to do.

    Brandon Swam with us this morning, the entire practice! "4500 yards of pure torture" says the big man. I miss having your rude little antics all the time, Joseph just doesnt cut it.

    I cant wait to see you little brother. Love you lots. Continue to make giant acomplishments.

  2. C'mon, he did not eat fruit. Really? Okay, apple pies are now on the treat list. (We gotta see this to believe it)
    Love from all the Stimpsons
