Bettyjo went to the ENT Friday, and as expected has taken a very very conservative approach to her care. He removed the small scab on her neck and used a silver nitrate stick (acid) to agitate the wound and cause it to heal together.
She will be allowed to drink small amounts of colored water on Monday. If that goes well, after one week she will be allowed to eat some applesauce. He does not want her to have any thing with refined sugar because if it does leak into her neck it could encourage an infection.
She has enjoyed driving again (she must wear the collar), and being free from the collar while in the house.
Please pray for continued progress.

Wow, that must feel good not to have to wear that collar all of the time! Ah, the freedom of driving.... I hope the water test goes well and that you will be off the feeding tube soon. We'll keep praying.
Love,
Stephanie
So happy that you are one step closer to complete healing. Still praying and believing God.
