Dad had another "swallow" test and this time he passed it! He's now allowed to take little sips of water and tomorrow they will try him on clear broth. He's hoping they'll take the chest and feeding tubes out tomorrow as well and said that the nurse told him that *if* all goes well, he could be home by the weekend. I am going to be cautiously optimistic on that one. I don't think he's strong enough for that yet. He's going to have to change the way he eats and eat smaller and more frequent meals. He said it feels a bit weird swallowing though but that makes sense considering what they had to do. I won't go into details. You might be eating or something ;) Even if he's not home this weekend, it won't be long now.
