Birthday Cake
Yesterday I discovered the patient refrigerator on Enrique's floor. Since then I have more or less taken it over. I pushed aside the prune juice and protein drinks to make way for roast lamb, smoked tomato soup, greens sauteed with garlic and more.
I am happy to report that today Enrique ate food from Boulette's Larder for breakfast, lunch and dinner -- all courtesy of friends. Thank you.
Afterwards, our four parents and the two of us had some chocolate mouse cake from Tartine. Enrique blew out three candles for his 30th birthday.
We considered sharing the leftover cake with the nurses - but thought better of it and put it back in the refrigerator.
Today was a good day for Enrique. No tingling, no shaking. He's still on an IV drip and it's not clear when he'll be able to go home. But, he's comfortable, he's smiling and feeling good.
