Day 33 hour 7

Tony is still in Fresno. Please pray for the insurance to come through for Rancho Los Amigos. I think the plan is for him to be moved on Friday. They are going to do the feeding peg tomorrow. He was able to swallow much better today but did get a little bit down the wrong pipe. They don't want him to get pneumonia from food going down the wrong way and end up on a ventilator in the ICU again. They think the peg will be the best way to get him the calories he needs for rehab. On the bright side they may also change out his tracheotomy tube tomorrow for one that can get the button on it.
He walked about 10 steps with a walker in rehab as well as sat in the wheelchair for another 2 hours today.
