Tania passed the swallow test today! I was able to accompany her to the Swedish Hospital Radiology Department and watched the x-ray machine show her eating and swallowing food and beverages. This evening she had her first meal for 2010 that consisted of shredded turkey, green beans and canned peaches with a glass of milk.
Because Tania is becoming more active in bed, a Poesy bed was moved into her room today. This type of bed has netting over it to protect the patients who try to get out of bed before they are ready to handle getting up on their own.
We are encouraged with both of these recovery milestones and look forward to continued recovery during the upcoming weeks.
