Today was a good day in rehab. Jodi was able to walk for the first time in going on four months. She used her walker and her walk was very impressive. She still has balance issues but she has not lost any of what she had gained before her foot surgery. Her foot was too sore to use a whole lot because of stiffness so she only walked short distances. She is doing so well with her swallow that we are going to try taking her off of more of her tube feeds. Hopefully she can work (and it is very hard work) at eating enough to replace the # of calories that she will need to replace the eliminated nutrition. Her swallow literally gets stronger everyday! She continues to amaze her therapists with her desire to work through pain and tough times.
More later, Connie
