View of the Hudson

Shane moved back to his bed in the oncology unit last night around midnight.  They saved his room for him, which is excellent because it has a view of the Hudson and the George Washington Bridge.  It is lit up at night and the cars twinkle as they go by.  His contact information is:
     New York - Presbyterian/Columbia
     Milstein Hospital Building
     177 Ft. Washington Ave.
     6 Hudson South, Room 240 B
     New York, NY  10032
     (212) 543-7235
Shane has been getting a nebulizer, which is helping him breathe more easily.  (It's also better than the alternative treatment for fluid around the lungs, which involves a big needle.)  Shane's doctor promoted him to a regular food diet today.  Shane's stomach has mixed feelings about that.  He is having an easier time getting out of bed and sitting up in a chair.  He also has less pain.  He's going to hang out in his hospital room and enjoy the view for the weekend.  We'll see how next week goes...
