Jason passed the swallowing evaluation! He now will get to eat apple sauce and other puréed foods. He can drink from a straw. The occupational therapist wants us to encourage him to do as much for himself as possible. The physical therapist wants him to move his body as much as he can. The more active he can be the better off he will be.
Moving out of ICU depends on the availability of a bed on another floor.
Isabel just went to pick up Peggy, her mom, at the airport. It will be good to have her here to support Isabel and offer her excellent knowledge in the medical field.
Jason is taking a well deserved rest from the morning's hour and a half long activity. Pretty amazing for a guy who was completely immobilized only 3 days ago! What a relief!
I'm going to a class today on brain injury. There's one each day and today's topic is about cognitive skills.
The many, many messages of care and concern, love and prayers has meant so much. Thank you and keep them up when you can.
