Unable to Complete Barium Swallow Test

She had a restful night and is doing better than either of us expected today thus far. We were extremely disappointed that she was unable to "pass" the swallow test but it did not reveal any leaks or tears so that is a positive. We are not really clear on when they will repeat the test but may wait a couple days for internal swelling to diminish. They removed her IV's and pain med pump and plan to start her on oral meds tonight or tomorrow. They gave her some liquids and she did not experience any problems so we do not know what to expect or when she will start with pureed foods.
