Another day of progress. Cathy was able to walk for a short distance today. Her diet was also 'advanced' today. She can once again eat real food, if you call pureed food real. Her tube feedings are being shut off from 8 am to 8pm in an effort to promote an appetite.
Cathy's incision pain is diminishing and her attitude remains upbeat and positive. Today is her seventh day on the trach collar. This morning the oxygen concentration in the supplied air was decreased to 40% (from 45%). It won't be long and she will be breathing room air for the first time in over two years.

Yeah...Another day of progress.
To breathe "air" again brings tears of joy to my eyes!
What a miracle...
I love you Cathy ...
What a blessing! I can't help but think about when you were here for my 40th 2 1/2 years ago. You were so healthy and doing so many things that you hadn't been able to do for SO many years. And you appreciated every minute detail of your new-found freedom. I'm thrilled beyond belief that such an experience is on the horizon once again. Thank you merciful Lord!
Sending you love and hugs,
