Yes, and Julie, I understand you are feeling poorly, so we will include you

>> Hello everyone,
>>
>> I thought I would give a good update about Robin Sweitzer.
>>
>> She had her feeding tube removed yesterday, and she is eating real 
>> food again!  Hurray!
>>
>> She was moved from the hospital to a skilled nursing facility last 
>> evening.
>>
>> She ate eggs, sausage and hash browns for breakfast, for lunch she is 
>> having cream of potato soup, chicken salad, minus the bread, mashed 
>> potatoes, apple sauce and vanilla pudding.  Yum yum!
>>
>> She is having physical and occupational therapy in the morning, and 
>> occupational and speech therapy in the afternoon.
>>
>> This morning she was able to take a sit down shower, and she did most 
>> of the shower herself!  Yea Robin!
>>
>> This afternoon they are going to work on her getting dressed and then 
>> her memory and speech.
>>
>> They are going to do more physical activities in the morning when she 
>> is fresh.
>>
>> They are also making sure she gets plenty of rest.  They want her to 
>> try and watch television or read each day.  She's very tired, and 
>> they said sleep and food are the best two things for her.  However, 
>> exercising her body and mind are also very important.
>>
>> Her phone number into her room is 417-269-9318.
>>
>> Although you can understand her very well, sometimes you can not 
>> quite tell what she is talking about.
>>
>> The doctor has said instead of just pretending to understand her, get 
>> her to take a breath and use her words.  Sometimes it annoys her, but 
>> the doctor said the more people pretend to understand what she is 
>> saying the longer it will take robin to recover.
>>
>> At this time he thinks she will make a full recovery.  He said it is 
>> very good for her to have phone calls, and talk to lots of different
people.
>> However, if you can keep your calls to a couple of minutes that is best.
>>
>> Thanks for all the prayers, she knows who she is, where she is and 
>> who everyone is.  Keep the prayers coming.
>>
>> Sincerely,
>>
