New Floor

Larry was moved to the neurology floor today. He has his own room and more space. He passed his swallowing test and will probably get to start eating soft foods tomorrow. If he tolerates that okay they will remove his feeding tube. He will be very excited to get rid of that. He has taken it upon himself to assist the nurses in the removal of the feeding tube more times than we can remember. He keeps asking for pizza and can't wait until he can have some. Mom promised him a HUGE pizza party when they get home and you are all invited. They are going to see how he does tomorrow with his trach covered and possibly have that removed within the next few days. The doctors said he will be moving to the rehab floor mid next week, just waiting for a bed. The pulmonologist saw him today and was extremely surprised after reading his chart history from the ICU days to see how far and how well he has progressed.
