Grilled Cheese Progress!

Mom, for the 6 weeks, has invariably eaten only 3 to 6 bites of her various meals. Something (likely neurological) caused her taste buds and/or her appetite to not be normal over that period.

Now, suddenly, she is eating better. Mom ate her entire vegetable course on Friday night. She ate an entire baked potato at Sat. lunch, and an entire grilled cheese sandwich at Sat. dinner. This type of eating has not happened before. A very good sign!

I hope this will turn out to be like her swallowing. She took therapy to help her swallowing - with little progress to show for that work. Then, after the hip surgery, during a period of zero therapy, something (likely neurological) shifted. Mom suddenly began swallowing perfectly - without aspirating.

I hope something (likely neurological) has shifted over the last days, and Mom will continue to display a normal appreciation of her food.
