Today’s schedule:
- Breakfast - 3 bites of scrambled eggs, 3 spoons of yogurt
- Sleep
- Eval by Speech and Swallowing Therapist because of choking episode yesterday. Result: supposed to thicken all liquids to be more viscous to prevent aspiration
- Sleep
- Lunch - 3 spoons of yogurt, one bite of graham cracker (Me: you have to eat to get stronger. Jennifer: I’m not hungry. I feel like I got run over by a train).
- Sleep
- Neighbor delivering clothes for Jennifer
- Sleep
- Visit from the Hyltons
- Sleep
- Dinner - delivery and assistance to occur after visiting hours by nursing—so no idea if any bites taken.
The Hyltons buoyed our spirits dramatically. We heard the highlights of the week’s meetings which we so unexpectedly missed.
They were getting ready to leave and Jennifer said “Wait, I want to see a picture of Emily’s baby, your first grandchild.” Nice.
After they left, I was filling out the details of our relationship with the Hyltons (Area Director colleagues for many years) to Caleb. I mentioned that their youngest daughter, Abby, is just a couple of years older than Luke.
Jennifer, who we thought was fast asleep, opened her left eye and corrected me matter-of-factly, “Elizabeth is their youngest.” And then rolled over and went back to sleep. (I fact checked with the Hyltons and, of course, Jennifer is correct).
Hooray. Jennifer is back.
(Note- in light of Jennifer’s transfer out of ICU, there is much less data/info to communicate. So we are moving to once-a-day updates only… and probably slightly less frequent than that in the near future).
Thank you! Wonderful progress...continuing to pray to the "Dear and Glorious Physician"
