Dad's work doesn't put him in contact with a lot of folks, but he works very closely with one person. He's a caregiver for a developmentally disabled adult who lives with him and my mom (and me for the time being). I'm glad the allergic reaction seems to be under control now. He seems like he's feeling a little better, but is definitely wanting to eat regular foods and to talk without pain. Also, glad to know that he's progressing about like everyone else.
