Update 2-26-11


Hi Everyone,

Lots of good news this week! On Tuesday, I was able to drink some water without choking. Boy did that taste and feel good. Now that I can consume some of my own water , the doctor has me coming back every other day for IV fluids. I added a few things to my food intake. The soft boiled eggs were getting boring so they are now called omelets. Pureed mushrooms and shredded cheddar are added to the soft boiled eggs and viola, you have a Randy omelet. Pureed  Mac and cheese is enjoyable again..

As you can see from the above, the swelling in my throat is slowly improving. I can see and feel that the redness in my throat in going down. The spitting is not as often so sleeping is easier and for longer periods. Wow Captain and diet seem to be in the near future. Oh that was just  one of those sleep periods --- just a dream!

The bottom line is that I'm on the upswing and loving it!

I would like to thank Ellen Deugs for putting in a new Med Lock last Saturday. The one from the hospital went bad. She was a good as Patty and hit the vein on the first try. This again saved me from going to the emergency room.

Thanks for all the love, support, prayers and emails

Randy
