Good morning - There has rarely been time in recent days for a morning post, so maybe this is another indication of improvement in Sarah's status. That is, we aren't scrambling to respond to multiple physical issues (pain, swallowing problems, rapid digestive transit, etc) so much, and Sarah is back to Facebook and essay writing.
Yesterday, her surgeon, in an effort to think of everything that might help her swallowing by further soothing her tongue, mouth, and throat, added nebulizer treatments with humidified air and along with an asthma medicine called albuterol. So Sarah was "puffing on her pipe" with the albuterol late last evening. Unfortunately, albuterol is a stimulant and Sarah proves to be very sensitive to it - so she became quite energetic around midnight and determined to "get a lot done." So she wrote an essay on the need for more jobs in New Hampshire and posted it to her Facebook page. It may have been a little rare more like a draft than a finished piece, but she was happy to see many comments on it this morning. Today maybe we'll try the nebulizer with just humidified air without the albuterol.
We are happy to be on the inside looking out on this bitterly cold day.
