Hi Everyone!
A great day last Wednesday!
Julie was able to change rooms to be by a window! A much more open bright room!! Lots of light and a better outlook for the next few weeks!!
The next great thing about her day was she had a procedure where her speech therapist placed a camera down her nasal passage so that they were able to watch her swallow Ughhh. But of course Julie did great ! During this test they dyed water blue ice chips blue, pudding blue, and a cookie blue! They saw, as she swallowed, where there were some problems to work where she was weak but they also were able to see with another appt with her swallow therapist that she would be able to start eating some of those foods. Hallelujah !'
She also started some strength training workouts. Strengthening her arms shoulders and specifically her right arm and hand . I thought she did great and did all that they ask.
Julie's toe surgery is healing well also. She puts some weight on it as she gets to shower now with assist and is taking steps.
Julie works very hard through her day with several therapy workouts and up and down from her bed, all things good that make her tired off and on during the day and obviously tired at night which is good as she gets to sleep easier these days!
She remains on her tube feeding even though she is starting to eat some other foods slowly. She will keep the tube feelings to make sure she gets enough nutrients!
Her friend Jenny had to go home early due to her diagnosis of unexpected Bell's palsy . She plans on keeping up with this blog as its good for Julie to get to read comments and motivates her!
Keep visiting as your schedules permit. Please if you visit, take pictures with Julie on her phone so we can have pictures to add to her scrapbook later!!!
Julie is soooo very blessed with all her friends that she has for support!!! Thank you thank you!!
