What a terrific day today. We advanced through many phases today on our way back to recovery. It was the swallow test to see if Ethan was ready to take on solid foods. He did just what the doc said and really like the Cheeto's that were given last in the test. After he passed in the room he was given the opportunity for a repeat with an X-ray making sure nothing was going down the wrong pipe. Give that boy a diploma for best swallower! At least a meal of Mac & Cheese with chocolate milk to wash it down.
Other Milestones today include improved speech, loss of the neck collar, recognition of colors, things, and people, wheeling (in a wheel chair) around the hospital, he was even able to tell jokes and laugh tonight. There is still a delay in his thought process especially when sleepy, but overall it has been a very promising day today.
