Day 24: October 24, 2011

Today Daniel took a swallowing test, where he had to drink a thick liquid to see how well he could keep it down.  He didn't do so well, so tomorrow he gets to do swallowing exercises.  His glucose levels are still fluctuating. Some good news, Daniel walked a total of 400 feet with his walker and assistance and he sat in his chair for five hours.  Also they put a different tracheotomy tube down his throat to let him be able to talk.  Getting closer to getting out of ICU, maybe tomorrow!

    I'll bet you can't wait to hear his first words. It's good to see continual progress. That is great on his walking and sitting.
