That's great news! Hopefully you brought her something especially yummy for her first meal in 2.5 days!

I wish I could. Angie has been on a feeding pump since June. But we do bring treats to her. She was almost off it last year but then things started happening.
Angela was in need of a kidney transplant when she suffered not one but 2 strokes. We do have a donor lined up, Angie's is still making some good steady progress. Stroke 1 (March 13) she was recovering from and only in the hospital for 3 weeks. Angie was walking, talking and going about life pretty good. She was getting better at home. Stroke 2 (June 16) was much worse, this one happened in the brain stem area, plus reinjured the first stroke area in the front of her brain. She still has almost equal movement and range on both sides. She communicates by blinking and squeezing her hands. We have not heard her speak for 5 months, or seen her walk in 6 months. Angie has not been home since June 16th, she did visit for a few hours one day then returned to her care center.
This thread was started when she got an infection that landed her in the ICU.
FYI they removed her chest tube today

Thank you! Angie will leave the ICU when her lungs clear out. She has some fluid/stuff in them right now. She is on room air with a humidifer going. Very stable but sleeping alot. I bought her the Dirty Jobs Season 1 DVD collection for her. That is one of her two most favorite shows, the other is Ghost Hunters and I have those already. I'm going to try and see if I can get something autographed from both shows for her.
