Jim now has a doctorate in the Swallow Test Arena


Jim has now been off of the vent for 48 hours and once again he has passed another swallow test. That means he can eat nector thickened foods. The foods are pureed and the fluids are nector think. He did not eat any lunch but I got him to drink a glass of milk and a glass of cranberry juice. That is all he wanted. We he hasn't eaten in a while it takes him a few days to get back in the swing of things. Today he was alert and talking. Baby steps are all we can ask for and that is what we are getting. Let's hope he will eat tomorrow. He really needs the nutrition that food gives him. The TPN has nutrients but it is not the same.

But I must say it was really cold this morning. The weather man said 42. Baby it is cold outside. I even turned my heat on for a while tonight. Hopefully, tomorrow will be warmer. No more emails from you guys up north. I know this is not cold.
