After almost two weeks in the hospital because of her aspiration Pneumonia, she is now back at home and has even undergone dilatation procedure. I am happy that the procedure was a success. The doctors were able to dilate half an inch of her throat. I think her pharynx constricted after her radiation treatment which is the reason why she aspirated. She is now allowed to take small amounts of warm water. She still has three more sessions, hopefully after that she will be able be back to her normal and will be eating solid food once again.
The whole is so happy that despite granny's age she was still able to get the proper medical attention she needed. First for the treatment of her pharyngeal cancer and now for the rehabilitation. We were just so lucky that she has got the right medicare plan that does not only covers that has part A to Medicare part D plan.
