Good morning, all- last night was the first time Pam and I saw Mom for a while; we've both been working at school to get everything started with kids on Monday. Dad told me later that the speech therapist brought in a banana for mom to eat (and maybe some tea?). She did pretty good with both, and the therapist questioned her about her eating and drinking the whole time. She did some different tongue exercises with her, so both Mom and Dad were hopeful that the time would come soon when she would move "up the food chain" to eat something not pureed or drink something not thickened!
Dad was even more excited about the speech therapist having her sing. She did a simple vocal exercise (for those musicians, it would be the 1, 3, 5, and octave). She moved up and down the range fairly well, and Dad said her voice was "crystal clear." Singing- that's something we haven't heard her do in a long time!!!! Dad said she sounded just like she used to.
In addition, she is starting to move her legs now. The right one, not so much; but she is getting more movement in the left leg, including the foot- she's moving the foot back and forth in the boot.
Still no word on the special boots. More later.
