Dear Friends:
God blesses us each day. Today was no different. Another CT was done today and the doctor said it looks good. The trauma team replaced Paul's trach to the speaking trach. When the speech therapist came in to see him she liked the "chewing action" & swallowing he is doing. Once he can tolerate the speaking trach for more than 20 minutes at a time they can start trying to introduce food by mouth. The physical therapist came in this morning and tried to sit him up in the bed. He apparently threw up after he'd wobbled a bit. The nurse said that the orthopedist was pleased with the x-ray of his foot. All looks good there. Once everyone had seen him he was cleared to go back to Manor Care as soon as possible. They ordered a transport for 5pm tonight and he was back in a room at the nursing home by 6pm. He is now in room 126 which is actually a nicer room and he has a view of the woods and the townhouse development behind the nursing home. This room is a little bigger and has a shower (the other one didn't). Tabby decided to stay with Paul through the night. He will start again on Monday with physical therapy. Today was the completion of 13 weeks (91 days) since the accident. It is amazing that so much has happened in that time. Have a great weekend.
Love, Lynne & Carl
