Mom was able to swallow today. They gave her water to swallow and she made a funny face. Sonya told the therapist that Mom rarely drinks water without some sort of flavor in it. They gave her a Gatorade like mixture and she swallowed it happily.
She was able to swallow apple sauce, but also made a funny face. The therapist reminded us that Mom has not had food in her mouth for over a month and it will be a new sensation.
She has started talking quite a bit more. A common side effect of brain trauma is that people will become fixated on specific things and sometimes say inappropriate comments.
We are now in that stage. If you come to visit, please remember that she could say something you would not be expecting from Mom.
