This morning Taylor did what we now know is his FINAL swallowing study. He did well. That was on the top 5 of his dislikes. He just wasn't real thrilled having a tube run up his nostril and into the back of his throat.
As soon as he got the all clear, he requested an unopened bottle of Gatorade Rain Lime that we've had ready for him since his days in the Trauma Unit. One of the first things he wrote, back when he couldn't talk, was "Gatorade Rain Lime". So, today he finally got to open the bottle.
The other good news is that Doctor has written an order to remove the Feeding Tube. He won't get that done before he leaves today, but we're working now on finding someone that can remove it ASAP.
Taylor doesn't know it, but he has several surprises this afternoon. Tomorrow I'll post plenty of photos.
