DAY 5

Ralph is only able to eat Popsicles, saltine crackers, and broth, at this time. He showered and walked around the restricted hall area. Staying awake was getting easier. He only napped for about an hour. Michael, Megan, Nathan, and Mallory visited, which always distracts Ralph from his discomfort. Looking at some of the other patients, Ralph realized how lucky he is. He seems inspired to get out of the hospital and realizes that eating and excercising is the key. He needs to push himself to do both.
