Barb has moved to a new facility where she will be getting physio and long-term care. This would seem to be a step in the right direction because she is now capable of physio-therapy.

Thank you so much for sharing this information, Cece! This sounds very promising, indeed! (From a Do Not Resuscitate order to PT - yes!!)

She says she feels alittle better in the mornings and her spirits are high.

Is Barb's voice still more audible as noted in the first post after her procedure. I remember her husband conveying that she could only whisper before the procedure. (Hope I got that right).

Is Barb still confined to bed? Or is she in a wheelchair now?

Here is a woman who was on a bed in a hospital, unable to speak, with a feeding tube and a Do Not Rescusitate order. Now she is speaking, doing physio, no feeding tube, and hopeful again!

edited to add: Pcakes, yes, this had me smilin' again too!

THIS SHOULD BE DOCUMENTED IN GREAT DETAIL and the powers that be in Ontario charged with attempted murder.

Didn't I read that a news crew was documenting her struggle and her trip to the U.S. for treatment?
