When Steve & Cindy arrived at hospital this morning Grammy was sitting in a chair & eating vanilla pudding, peaches & pears, graham crackers, ice chips, & water. Her favorite was the graham cracker..the therapist said that was unusual (because of the hard & gritty texture) & Grammy said "tastes good to me". Grammy asked for a steak dinner & Steve told her that he would take her to Black Angus when she was better. She even walked with a walker from the bed to her chair.

She wanted Cindy to call Grandpa & tell him to put the umbrella down because she has been watching news & it was supposed to be windy. She keeps giving us thumbs up & she even threw in an eye roll today.

She has a swallowing test at 1:30 & then she will be moving out of the ICU today! They have a room ready for her. There is a chance that she will have to go to a rehab facility down the road, so KC is researching facilities. She will be leaving the hospital with an IV because she has to be on a really strong antibiotic for another 6-7 weeks.
