The nose hose

Usually Monday morning is a very low point in the week. Not so today. The morning started with the news that the doctors had approved the removal of Mary's nasal gastric tube which she, not so fondly, referred to as the "nose hose". The nose hose has been an unwelcome part of Mary for over two months now and so this event was much anticipated and greatly welcomed. After the removal ceremonies "YANK" (You are now klear) Mary's speech improved considerably. She has been helped out of bed and allowed to stand on her own two feet (assisted). She has spent a couple of hours each day in her chair and she is getting about 45 minutes of physical therapy. The result is that she is able to answer the telephone on her own and can be understood much better. Try giving her a call at 414-805-7278.

Thanks for all your concerns,

Jack & Sue
