Mom is evidently eating better. As a result she is scheduled to have a barium swallow study to assess whether she can advance her diet to a normal diet. In addition she had her feeding tube removed today after waiting for 3 hours and getting steamed. Mom even said it was "hell" waiting to get the paperwork done. When the tube finally came out it was easy and only took 5 or 10 minutes. Her other therapies are going well. She is transferring to the car much more easily. Thank you for every one's ongoing concern and prayers.
