Dad's therapy is on hold for a bit. We are trying to traverse the insurance maze. He is still working hard and improving! Thank you for all your prayers and thoughts!

WooHoo!!! Dad's swallow test went great. He has been cleared to eat and drink, just not thin drinks. This means no water, juice, or more importantly wine or beer. He is starting out slow, with mechanical soft foods. This means either pureed or already soft food. He is allowed to drink thickened water....must be an acquired taste. Thank you so much for all your prayers and thoughts! God is good!

Dad is gearing up for a swallow test Thursday. Good results = more real food less pureed food. Please keep him in you thoughts and prayers! We have this!

Happy Father's Day! I know this is a little early, but this year is a little more sentimental. Dad is continuing to fight. Which is amazing! His voice is getting stronger and stronger. Unfortunately, we are having to fight insurance. If you are well versed in this world, we could use your advice and help! Happy Father's Day to the many dads who pray, check in on, and support my family. We truly appreciate it!

Family has always been so important to my dad! This weekend he was blessed with a visit from his sister, who turned 80 recently. With her came many of his nieces and nephews. How I wish I could have made it. This was a blessing he will feel for quite some time! Thank you for your love and support!

So today was the Frosty day! He LOVED it! So exciting that the swallowing has come so far as to allow him some treats. He will go through another swallow test soon to see how far he has come and what is possible to add to his diet.

Sorry for the silence! Dad is still doing great! Today he gets to have a frosty!!!! He has continued to improve his speech. The speech pathologist tried the O-H.....Dad said I-O back, no prompting. He is working on Buckeye and is pretty close. He has told Mom to "be quiet". You know he has been dying to say that to one of us, since this started. The road is still long, but at least it is bright! Thank you for your love, support and prayers!
