Jay, that is sooo great that Jen is doing so well, and so close to being done. I know how much you both must be looking forward to next Friday, and marking the days off on the calendar.

I hope she can get through without the NG tube. I had it in hospital, and despised it even more than the trach. It actually got removed early due to problems.

If it is a type of food, as opposed to a texture of food, she can puree in the Magic bullet. The texture sucks, but at least it's the semblance of other food. When it's not all soup or yogurt, she may get some other flavour out of it. I was sure sick of soup myself.

All my best to you both for the next few weeks!
