You opened your mouth ... 

and sank your teeth into the burger, in slow motion. 

Mom will never forget how You closed your eyes, and let out an extended and satisfying “hmmmm” at that first bite, and at each and every other bite thereafter. 

You chewed very slowly, and chomped on your burger so contentedly that it was just simply wonderful to watch You. 

Truly, a beautiful sight to behold. 

Looking at You, Dad had a perpetual grin on his face. 

Justine was more fascinated by the monitors that were beeping around You and kept reading out aloud the numbers that appeared on the screens. 

Dad had also bought some fries, so You really had a nice feast in the ICU that morning.

Your doctor came in a little bit later. 

He was very happy with your progress and was quite taken in with your McD’s appetite. 

Mom thought the doctor would probably not come across a patient who walloped two burgers and a large packet of french fries the day after a brain surgery before You.

Your doctor instructed the attending nurse to remove most of your lines and pads and cables, except for the drainage bag and the IV drip. 

How happy Dad and Mom were when the doctor said that You were well enough to be transferred out of the ICU and to the Children’s Ward.
