This is the first update via Blog to inform everyone about Greg's progress. He was accepted in Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Boston and started the road there this morning. Mom is following the ambulance in her car. They will arrive later this afternoon.
Just to review the last few days, the doctor switched the tracheostomy tube to a smaller one. This has allowed Greg to speak without the need for a speaking valve. Greg also passed his swallowing exam and has been allowed three meals! Also Greg has been breathing on his own all day, however still uses the respirator at night to rest.
