Eileen,
I've printed your posts and will share them with my Father when I see him tomorrow.

I've just learned that they have taken him back to the ER because he can't swallow and his neck is swelling.

It seems as if he takes two steps forward and three steps backwards. Is this normal? I'm trying to remain positive but it's so scary at times. I guess I expected a little bit of this but it seems like progress is moving very slowly. Is this normal? (Whatever "normal" is!)

Thank you for your insight!
Kim
