Afternoon snacks
I'm at home in Kirksville, in between errands here. The phone rang, and it was Tori the speech therapist. She was so excited by Linda's afternoon performance that she wanted to call me and tell me about it. This afternoon between 2:30 and 3:30, Linda ate 4 ounces of cola that had been thickened and 2 ounces of yogurt. She said the main doctor was in at the end of the session and he was just raving about how well she was doing. Naturally, Linda was grinning the whole time. They make her ask for "more" between sips (which usually come from a teaspoon). It doesn't sound exactly like "more" yet, but the important part is that you can hear her dry voice. If it is gurgly, then you know she needs to swallow again first.
As for the email thing, people have been sending us emails at Rusk for several days. They generally print them off about once a day and bring them by, so we do get them.
