Amanda just called and spoke to Martha's daytime nurse. She passed the swallow study, which is great news! So as soon as she is ready to eat on her own the Dobhoff (feeding) tube can come out. Unfortunately, today she has been groggy and confused, and she refused to eat any lunch.

Here at home, Amanda seems to have finally overcome her most recent drug side-effect and is feeling much better. She will probably still be weak for awhile, but as always she is hoping to get to see her mother in person as soon as possible, hopefully tomorrow.
