Progressing

Joy continued to improve today and now on a full liquid diet which we expect that she will be on for a couple weeks prior to the pureed foods. She is definitely experiencing problems with food and meds slowing down or holding in her esophagus which at times is rather painful and uncomfortable. How long will she have this issue? Days, weeks, months or forever????? Hopefully, more like weeks but unfortunately, this is a very uncomfortable but frequent side effect of the surgery.

It is possible that she may be discharged tomorrow, but time will tell.
