Jane's swallow test under the x-ray shows a little bit aspiration (going down the wrong way) when drinking. This means she will have to take care when drinking and remember to only swallow liquids with her chin tucked down. This helps her throat muscles swallow more properly. Soon her swallow muscles will become stronger and she can swallow normally.
She seemed stronger in physical therapy today and we were able to talk and hang out. Other days after physical therapy could hardly keep her eyes open.
Tomorrow we get sent back to northwestern (out patient) to get that picc line inserted and hopefully get a unit of blood after that. We should see a good bump in her energy level then :)
