UPDATE: The Speech and Pathology lady came by this morning. Ang passed the "swallow" test and was deemed a good candidate for eating. Kind of makes you laugh a bit doesn't it? The lady said Ang had good oral care and Ang followed some simple, basic commands from the lady like swallow and clear your throat. I was a bit surprised she would not stick out her tongue when the lady asked but she did do some big yawns so the lady could look at her mouth and tongue.
The lady gave Josh and I Guides for Patient and Family on Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI's). Josh is reading it now and I will read it soon. Ang is between level 4 and 5 on a 10 level scale.
Right after that lady left, the Ortho doctor came in and removed her cast for a splint. He was pleased with her progress and is ready to start adding her wrist to the things that get exercised.
Right after that the Physical Therapy lady came in and did all her range of motion exercises - which Ang passed with flying colors on her right side and with 'good improvement' on her left side.
Whew! What a morning.
