Kenny is making progress on a daily basis. No more oxygen, no more trach, and no more catheter. He’s able to talk again and has rediscovered his cell phone. He passed the swallow test and is now able to eat soft foods. He boycotted the broth and juice several days ago. The focus is on physical therapy now. He’s forced to get out of the bed and sit in a chair. He can now physically pull himself from the chair back into the bed. He’s also taken a few steps with the assistance of a walker. Looks like his strength is returning since he’s getting real food now. AND, he’s out of ICU and now in room # 403. He still has the drain tube for his gall bladder, and the doctor hasn’t determined or told us when that will be dealt with. Looks like he’s on the down slide to recovery.
