Uncle John has turned another page in this chapter of his journey. He passed his swallowing test today so he was able to drink some water for the first time in over 5 weeks. Once again, its amazing the things we take for granted. He is now able to slowly progress his diet, starting with soft foods and liquid. Not quite ready for a PB & J, but he is working his way up to that!
Some other big steps were that he sat in the chair for about an hour, and stood on the side of the bed for 2 minutes (which is quite a lot for someone who has been in bed for so long). The next hurdle to get over is to completely breathe on his own. He is making incredible strides in this area, so we need to pray that he can continue to build strength in his breathing muscles. The doctors are very hopeful that this will happen in the near future. Thank the Lord!
On behalf of the Hannan family, thank-you so much for lifting our guy up in your prayers. Please Keep them coming...
