The NG tube is out (no more supplemental calories or vitamins) and Dustin is eating double portions of pureed and minced food. Liquids still have to be thickened. Eating is an all day affair because Dustin still can’t open or close his mouth more than one ‘knuckle/tongue depressor’ width. Occupational therapy is working on exercises to strengthen damaged facial muscles and ligaments.
Dustin is off isolation restriction. The VRE still shows positive in his blood but he is asymptomatic.
Dustin is standing and walking several steps at a time (with assistance from two people). His balance is still off.
