Pizza!

The title of this blog can't help but bring up great memories of when it used to be pizza day at school! The best lunch in the cafeteria. I spent the last few days with my dad and it was an amazing time, as always. Me, Stacy, mom, and Robb ordered pizza and wings on Wednesday and we asked dad if he would like a slice, since his wires have been removed and he is able to eat solid foods. He is supposed to be sticking to soft foods with little chewing so it was determined he would give the pizza a whirl, possibly minus the bread and crust since it would require some chewing. Stacy, Robb, and mom were enjoying their dinner in the waiting room and I decided to see if dad wanted his slice. I asked him if he wanted it cut and he said no - he wanted to be able to hold it. So, in comes the slice of cheese and away he went. That slice lasted about two minutes, crust and all. He didn't seem to have any problem at all finishing every little crumb...well almost every crumb, we did find one or two under him later when we adjusted him for bed. He finished it so fast that his nurse Michelle stepped away for a few minutes and came back and asked where the pizza went? We all laughed and we asked dad if he wanted another. He said he was having a tough time deciding between another piece or Cheez-its and some ice cream. A difficult choice indeed. Stacy convinced him that the Cheez-its and ice cream would be there tomorrow and that he better take advantage of the pizza while there was some left - no pizza leftovers last long around the Ferraro clan. So, he opted for another slice! Regardless of how old you are, pizza day is still the best day in the cafeteria!

Thanks to all for your continued love and support of our family! The support hasn't subsided since day one, which is truly amazing!

Thanks,

Scott
