Well, it took a while but I think we are finally on the move! Mom had a good week and made a lot of progress with both the physical therapy AND the speech therapy. She was able to have a smaller trach tube put in a couple of days ago and then a cap yesterday on the trach so she is finally able to speak with her voice and has a LOT to say. Mostly that she wants ice cream, she wants those boots off, and mostly, she wants OUT! So she is being transferred at 5pm today to an LTAC (Long Term Acute Care) facility at City of Faith. We are hoping that once she is settled in there, they will be able to help her start weaning off the trach all together and learn how to eat again.
So anyone who is already signed up to bring food, please be aware that we are no longer keeping camp at St. Francis. You are still able to contact my sister Susie to make arrangements. If you need her phone number again, please email me directly at jclapp1@yahoo.com.
I have to tell everyone who has brought dinner thus far that your generosity has been such a blessing. My dad definitely looks forward to them when they are scheduled! My sister, Nancy, arrived this morning to stay for the week and help out. We will let people know when it is ok to visit my mom.
Thank you again,
Jennifer & Family
