UCSF Day 14 & 15: March 27&28
Apparently in my new reality we had two March 25 this year....didn't blog yesterday cuz I was just toooooooooo tired to focus. So on Tuesday Peter had a CT scan and the first part of his swallow evaluation. Everything stable on CY, drained a little fluid collection which kinda freaked him put a little :). Swallow eval was more fun cuz he got to swallow liquids and was given supervised ice chip privileges. Spending lots of time up in chair as well as walking with PT and working with OT on putting on the Chuck Taylor's. Yesterday he walked the length of the unit twice. The second part of the swallow eval was a fiber optic exam while drinking and eating. Yay! He can now start a mechanical soft diet. Mashed potatoes here we come! He has orders (finally) to transfer out of ICU but alas, no beds.
