Hey Claudia,
My dad is hanging in there. Unfortunately he's still not swallowing. He hasn't really tried to eat or drink anything and I'm really afraid if he doesn't he'll lose the ability altogether. He never did the swallow study because the day they wanted to do it, he was exhausted and nervous. He starts his radiation next week, which I think might make the swallowing situation even worse. My sister is trying to get a speech therapist to come to the house and evaluate him. We'll see what happens. I hope your husband has some good news in the next few weeks. I know what you're going through (and him). It's really hard to watch someone you love go through this.
