Sound the trumpets--Jamie passed his swallow test today "with flying colors"! Hooray! He even ate a cookie--first time he's chewed something in over 6 weeks. So now he can eat-what a blessing! Not sure exactly what he'll be eating at first, but we'll keep you posted for sure! We know he's ready for a Bojangles cajun filet biscuit and probably some sashimi and nagiri. Hopefully he'll be eating real food very soon because we need to fatten him back up. He's gotten skinny! (Not that he wasn't before :-) We'll get him back up to his fighting weight before long... Come to think of it, his helmet that he has to wear whenever he's out of bed kind of looks like a boxing helmet!
The rehab hospital is a great place-he gets a daily schedule printed out each night for the following day. He is typically in therapy (physical, occupational and speech) starting at 9am with a little break around lunchtime and then again from 2-4pm. So they're working him hard. He may even be able to take a shower in the next day or so which we know is going to feel absolutely wonderful for him.
Stay tuned...
