Jodi got her cast off and is sporting an ugly boot but she is happy. Each new device gives her a little more mobility. She is still unable to walk or try to walk because she needs range of motion therapy (the foot is extremely stiff) and as usual, the insurance is taking it's time deciding what therapist they will cover.
Jodi's swallowing continues to get better. She manages to swallow a cracker, a six oz. pudding, and a four oz. thickened drink each day. It is a struggle at times but if she keeps it up, it won't be long until she can give up one can of her tube feedings. Her goal of course is to give up all four cans and be on a general diet.
She continues to go to therapy twice a week which gives her something to work towards every couple of days and keeps her going. She is making slow but continued progress. Connie
