As you can see by the picture here things are improving!. Mike got the tube out of his nose and has the peg in is stomach now and already his throat is better and he was drinking some fruit juice. Talking is easier now too, and he talked with his sister Kim on the phone today. This picture was taken about 1 1/2 hours after the proceedure with the tube. Except for the shiney face he looks prtty good. They are still being cautious with him and keeping him on the vent at night just to be safe and I think it is a great idea. The speech therapy Gestapo Lady has also lightend up on him since my argument with her 2 days ago and Mike is actually making better strides towards eating now that she let him get the tube removed first. I'm not Dr., but it seems common sense would tell you it would be hard to swallow regular food with a feeding tube down your throat. #$@!^**!!%@!
