Day Eight

Day 8

Today was Brian's best day.  We headed over to the hospital to have a Modified Barium Swallow test.  I'm happy to report that he passed with flying colors and can now eat regular food!  That definitely lifted his spirits.  PT came today and did e-stim on his quads. Brian had a small contraction on both quads from the stimulation. We also toured Craig with the physical therapist.  Brian saw the different gyms and areas in the facility.  OT is still trying to fine tune the wheelchair.  It is quite a process! So thankful for a good day...we both needed it.  Hoping for a peaceful night's sleep.  Thank you for your continued prayers and good vibes.

    I don't know if you heard a loud cheering noise echoing across the mountains but if so, it was me shouting for your great news.
    I pray for MORE good days and MORE good food. Brian, I agree with Diana, you do look great! You are so strong! We continue to pray for God's blessings, a good night's rest and another great day tomorrow. We love you and Julie. Sweet Dreams.
