MONDAY NIGHT, NOVEMBER 14, 2011

Augusto continue to improve in his recovery. He is at the St. David's Hospital in Austin in the rehab wing.  When he was transferred, he was still been fed through a tube since he was having trouble with swallowing (normal for his 3 weeks with breathing tube).  Today he "passed the swallowing test" Big Hurray for him. However the tube is still needed because he has to start swallowing liquids, Jello, etc. but not solids yet.  He is doing a lot of physical therapy, occupational, and others and gets tired so we call and talk to him for a very short time.  Karla is a tower of strength and has a great support group which has been invaluable. She is walking without the walker and the face is healing well.
She asks me to pass on to all of you the - how important this support has been.
We continue our way south aboard ALFIN sailing away from the cold weather and this is why I have been remiss lately in updating this page.  Thanks for your patience
