Red Letter Day! They removed the ventilator from Marion's room today! Huge step forward.
Also, Marion mostly passed his swallow test. He can have a "ground" diet, and not thin, but "nectar" consistency liquids. So, ground chicken with mashed potates and gravy and chopped broccoli for lunch with added trimmings, and ground beef with the same rest of menu for dinner.
I had to leave at 5:25 for my class, and as no hospital is over staffed, Karen came over to do one-to-one with Marion for his 2nd "real meal". Turns out Jim came to visit too, so after dinner, Jim, Karen and Marion played a game of cards! Marion is making progress almost daily in front of our eyes.
Thank you for your prayers and support. I was telling Marion today about this internet note that I send out each nite, and the responses that we receive. He was really moved to hear of your interest. Thank you again. Love, Sue
