Julie update

Today at 250pm Physical Therapy nurse Nancy had Julie do some leg exercises (knee highs, heel lifts and heel out & toe circles) and would be back tomorrow to take her for a walk. At 3 PM they did the swallow test she had 3x 1 tsp applesauce she totally swallowed all of it (yeah baby), 2x water sips and 1 cookie piece all swallowed. Nurse said "everything closing fast, amazing, perfect passed the test like no one else. Nurses were all very happy and amazed at how well she swallowed (I wish I could have been here they had a scope that showed it all, but I was spending much needed time with my girls) nobody usually does that well they said. Since she did so good they took out the nose tube as well as a groin tube. They put in a IV line in arm and took chest x-ray to make sure it's in the proper place, if it is they will remove the neck line (they did). Julie looks good but is really tired and is ready for some much needed rest. GOD bless Manny.
