Good Evening to the MaryLee fan club!!! Take one guess about what it is doing outside........if you guessed snowing you are correct and win nothing but the news of the day!
I feel it was a wonderful day indeed. Today Mom had another swallow test with the applesauce. She did GREAT!!!! When the speech therapist put the spoon to her mouth, she opened and took the applesauce, moved it around in her mouth and swallowed.
she swallowed even better with ice on the spoon with the sauce. (They say that is because it adds extra sensation) So today she had 6 bites of applesauce and beautiful blue lips when she was done. Good thing it's her favorite color. When she was suctioned there was no blur dye........even better!!! Tomorrow they are going to try to do the swallow test with the xray. Then they can watch and see it go down and make sure all is right. She has not tried any water yet and I understand that is harder. But what a good step forward. I told her she did an excellent job and I was so proud of her and happy. She gave me a wink and took a nap. Nothing more really exciting the rest of the day. Same routine, but I'll take that over a bad day.
I did something different tonight. Debbie, my housemate, has alot of her family here, including her 2 year old grandson, which makes me miss Luca even more. Their family was going to go out and eat at Applebee's and invited Mike (the other housemate) to go with them. We did and it was nice to go out and to play peek-a-boo across the table. I got enough to bring back and have for supper tomorrow.
Do we have bad weather at home? I understand it was horrible around Springfield. Debbie's parents were on their way home and had to stop and get a hotel around Springfield. Hope you all are ok.
