Dear friends,
I would like share with you two very exciting things that have happened this week.
Early in the week Melissa was feeling down. She wants so much to be able to talk to her friends, to stand up and to walk into the back yard. But then things started to happen....
On Thursday, Melissa happily tasted real food by mouth after a successful swallowing test. She couldn’t wait to have some Campbell’s clam chowder, and she was able to taste many other foods. She was so excited .. though there will be no steak quite yet as chewing is still difficult for her. The G-tube will still supply the bulk of her nutrition until she is completely able to transition to eating by mouth, but being able to take at least a little food by mouth is so satisfying for her and gratifying for us.
Another exciting milestone was reached when she learned how to master her wheel chair using her left side. She was able to navigate back and forth down the hallway and to turn to avoid running into the walls.
We’re all so excited about these events.
So, Melissa has taken more steps closer to our prayers for her. We all glorify the Name of God for this progress and we continue to praise Him always!!
In Him,
Michael
