Swallow Test is Scheduled for Tomorrow

At noon tomorrow Tania will be taken to Swedish Hospital for a swallow test. For the past couple of days she has been chewing ice chips and successfully swallowing the cold water. When she passes the "official" swallow test she will be allowed to begin drinking and eating food again.

During the chapel service at Craig yesterday, Tania was able to recall the words from each hymn from memory. Even though she was only "singing" in a whisper, it was great to see her worship God. To encourage her (and me)I have read Romans 12:12 to her several times where we are encouraged to be "rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation and devoted to prayer".

Late yesterday afternoon when I returned to the hospital after her nap and held her hand in my hands, she whispered to me "your hands are cold". These types of responses are still only sporadic, but they are occurring more frequently than they were a couple of weeks ago.
