Feeding Tube Removed

Today marks the four week point of Tania's return home and she continues to show progress on her long recovery road. On Wednesday she had the feeding tube removed (it had not been used for nourishment since early March). She was also able to get her hair highlighted and cut on Wednesday. Both of these events were a great way to recall that it had been eight months since the original 911 call.

This week we have been sleeping upstairs in "our" king size bed. I think we are both sleeping better. The temperature is about ten degrees warmer upstairs than in the basement. Tania is assisted up and down the stairs by placing both of her hands on the banister and taking sideways steps. Tania's schedule stays busy with therapists and visitors coming to our home. The ResCare home care aides are also assisting ten hours per week day so I can continue to work. We continue to be encouraged with her progress and by your support.
