"She swallows liquid (saliva). So she could swallow other liquid (Ensure). She's currently living on the Ensure that she consumes with the aid of a feeding tube. She can swallow it, except that she's not allowed to."
And think of how pleasant it would be for her to even enjoy tasting and swallowing Ensure, instead of having it through a tube.
Looks like she needs a straw, not a tube.
A nurse testified that she fed Terri jello, which Terri immensely enjoyed.
Goodnight prayers for Terri!
