Sounds great and it sounds like she is walking out of that tunnel as we post. Don't fret if she has some bad days during the early weeks of her recovery. We all did. Even if she does they will eventually disappear. Do be prepared for a possible 2 year recovery period. Don't get concerned if that happens as that's pretty normal. Taste and saliva SLOWLY return. For me it did take all of 2 years before I saw my last improvement.
