That’s so cute! 
I just got a text from him: drumroll, please he passed his swallow evaluation! 
YEAH! Said it went “just fine.” Let’s see, he’s off an antifungal and two antibacterials, they’re dialing back the fentanyl, and increasing the time off vent: they’re shooting for around four hours or so at a time.
ETA: more info than you can hope to absorb here. Page three covers the swallow evaluation stuff.
makes undignified happy sounds
Make all the noise you want. You have worked for it, and you have earned it.
Enjoy it.
I just had a thought. When this is over we should have a t-shirt printed up for the purple one that says:
My husband spent X days in the hospital and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.
Woohoo!
I reckon you’re fine to make happy noises, do happy dances and anything else you feel like, that’s awesome!
Woohoo, woohoo, woohoo!
And Hooray.
Fantastic news Purple!
Two thumbs up!
I don’t think anyone has ever looked forward to hospital food this much before. I’m bringing him a Coke Slushie to celebrate.
purplehorseshoe - What did they give him to swallow? Something yummy, I hope.

Awesome! Break out that chicken broth!!
Yay!
I’m glad to hear he passed the swallow eval but go easy on the coke - maybe broth, instead.
but, seriously, good deal!!!
Bzzzzt. Nitpick: Under the circumstances, those sounds are entirely appropriate and probably mandatory. Make sounds, dance crazy, giggle to yourself in public places.
I have spoken.
Awesome!
Make a few squeals of happiness, y’all deserve it.
I spent hours working on a cool ascii image to show my excitement, and then my laptop froze, so …
YIPPEE!!!

Ummm… when did your name change?
There’s something in the water today.

HOLY COW!!! Jumps into the happy dance…scares the cats…poor Spike just hit the door sill twice before hiding under the bed.
This is such great news! You finally get to feed your man. HOLY COW!!!
