she passed!

Cosima passed her swallow test this morning with flying colors! She is currently drinking a glass of water. At noon she will have food - it will be mechanical soft (fancy name for the already been chewed kind of food) but it is food and she will be eating it on her own. This means the feeding tube is gone - so one more tube down.

As we can imagine Cosima is ecstatic to have passed. Cosima and Nancy met with the dietitian and she was very helpful and recognizes and understands her dietary needs. The hospital will be very accommodating to the dietary requests.

Angele, Cosima's friend, showed up shortly after the test and she is off to the coop to pick up some special items for her that aren't available at the hospital. There is a small fridge they can store these items for her use.

Thelma will be back down to the hospital tomorrow and Jan will be coming down tomorrow as well.
