December 1 – Day 843

Joyce had a great day. We got an early start to go Joyce swallow study and see her ENT doctor. Joyce was great all the way up there and back no issues in the car. Her swallow showed progress her first to swallow with applesauce went down correctly with no issues. The speech therapist then kept giving her various thickness to tax her muscles then Joyce was having issues swallowing. So Joyce is good in the beginning but no endurance so we will continue to do her exercises because her doctor was very pleased. He said she is making progress from her last test. Strengthen the muscle’s will give her endurance needed to continuously swallow correctly. On the way home almost ran out of fuel but got to the exit and I was praying to God to let us make it and Joyce was laughing. Her night was great still training the night person on Joyce’s’ routine.

Continue to pray and send positive thoughts so that things continue to progress and that God keeps putting his loving hands on Joyce to heal her.
