I went to see MIL last night. Wow, what a difference! She was stronger, her voice was much better (though still quite hoarse), and she was EATING! I couldn't believe it. Since all this began, she hasn't really eaten more than about a tablespoon full of food for a meal. A half a teaspoon of this, a half a teaspoon of that, and she was pretty much full. We'd have to push to get her to eat any more than that. But not the past couple days.
I was shocked to hear Thursday that she ate a small bowl of spaghetti when dh was there. He had been really pushing her to eat more, but even this was far beyond his expectations. Then, last night, when I got there to visit, the nurse called us aside and told us that she had been eating very well. She said she had eaten half her main course at breakfast, all of the side dish. a full drink, and a banana! Woohoo! A Real meal!
They're talking about removing the feeding tube and moving her to a nursing home NEXT WEEK! YES!
