Finally Sleeping

Kath has had a very tough time sleeping. She is finally asleep in the middle of the day, which means that she will probably be up in the night! Either way sleep is good and it heals the body.

Earlier today I spoke with her for 5 minutes using the one way valve. Kinda of nice to have a real conversation. She is getting much better at this but still tires her out fast.

Also, Kathy passed the swallow test and is on the puree solid foods for lunch and dinner today. Menu: puree cottage cheese with puree fruit, puree applesauce, puree peaches, pudding and thickened juice. Thin liquids are not allowed, so things like water or ginger ale are not acceptable yet.

  1. Glad to hear every day is a new step in the right direction. Ross don't forget to get rest for yourself also, caregiving is very draining.
    Kathy enjoy your new menu, especially those fruits. Hope your able to get some precious sleep to allow your body to heal and energize your spirit. Thinking of you both everyday, so glad you have so many of your family & friends around to keep you going. Love your cousin, Joanie
