Chris had another swallow test with the speech therapist today. While he is able to add any pureed foods to his diet, he is still not allowed to drink water. Despite all the good news about being able to go to the hotel and home soon, Chris is pretty disappointed that he still can't drink anything. They are all hopeful that they can get an appointment with the speech therapist on Monday to try again.
Chris gets to leave the hospital and head for the hotel tomorrow! Tiff and Earl will pick him up in the morning. They will still have to go to the hospital twice per day for physical therapy, but at least they don't have to spend their whole day there. Chris will probably get his first night of uninterupted sleep since there won't be someone drawing his blood at 3 am!
Kaleb, Lisa, Jordan, Andy and Jorge all left today after a few day visit. Tiff's Aunt from Wyoming came down for the day and got to spend some time with everyone. Tomorrow, Sam arrives and will get to be Chris' first visitor at the hotel.

Christopher,
We have been gone on vacation so we are blown away by the progress you have made since the last time we were able to read the blog. Great job Christopher, you are an inspiration for all of us. I am suffering from a bad back and when I read about you I feel a bit embarassed.
Keep up the great progress and we plan to see you real soon.
God bless you and your mom and dad!

I am sure it's very disappointing not to be able to drink yet. Just keep thinking -- Monday, Monday, Monday.
In the meantime, how wonderful that you get to move to the hotel today. That will be so much more relaxing and comfortable. That's really great news.
Enjoy your visitors and keep them on their toes with your quick wit. I'm sure you'll make sure everyone is entertained.
I can't wait to hear how your weekend goes.
