Bill got a good workout today. The speech therapist came in today to test Bill's swallowing abilities. He had water from a spoon, a spoon of pudding, a spoon of Gerber peaches, a large corner of a saltine cracker, and last a drink of water from a cup. She said as far as she is concerned he can have whatever he wants to drink. Soft food to start and very chopped up food if he tolerates the soft. If the doctor agrees.
That is really progress. All of that with the TRAC still in place.
Also we are waiting to see if the surgeon that put the TRAC in thinks Bill is ready to replace it with a talking TRAC. I hope... I hope....Then I think he will be able to enjoy some visitors. Without being frustrated because he cannot talk and causing his pressure to go up.
When we get to that stage I will ask him who he wants me to call each day....and will in time be returning all of the phone calls asking when can he have visitors. Soon I hope.
Thanks to all of you for being there for Bill & I at this difficult time.
