G-Tube Surgery today

Looks like my post from last week didn't post. Things continue to go well for Mom. She continues to get stronger and build her endurance. She uses her walker and is able to travel longer and longer distances on foot. She has a new wheel chair - much more comfortable, she says, so she is able to sit up for longer periods of time. PT is going really well. They have her doing more standing exercises and more variety on the machines.

Speech therapy is also going well. She's regularly eating soft solids at every meal, without assistance. Also, she's drinking liquids of all thicknesses unsupervised.

G-Tube surgery was this morning. I just got a call from the surgeon who confirmed that it all went well. No challenges or problems. They are keeping her in the hospital overnight for observation. She is thrilled to have the tube out of her nose finally.
