Every day Kathy is progressing remarkably well. On my visit yesterday Kathy was being tested on every meal for consumption. She needs to eat at least 75% of each meal 3 times per day to get off her tube feeding. She needs to do this at least 3 days in a row. We ended up having a little confusion yesterday because we had planned dinner around a special cheeseburger from In-N-Out Burger. I brought in the burgers and shakes and noticed she was just starring down at this big dinner. We worked together and everything got done. (You know what I mean) She passed and got to go last night, for the first time, without the tube.
Today is a special event day-her recreational therapist is allowing her to leave the hospital for 4 hours. The family is going to pick her up and take her to the San Diego Bay. If she feels good enough, we are going to attempt to take her to the Fish Market Restaurant to get some of her favorites. Could you have ever imagined last Saturday, after double Achilles surgery, we would be going out on the town today?
Kathy will go to her therapy conference Tuesday and probably be issued a release date. I anticipate the date to be at the end of this week or no later than one week more. It’s pretty exciting times-Kathy is at the point where everything’s going her way!
