Today's coffee toast proudly honors the incomparable Amy! As Amy celebrates her 40th birthday, we're reminded that every milestone achieved is a testament to her unwavering resilience. After facing the unimaginable with 3 strokes in May 2022, and despite being told she might not overcome the odds, Amy defies expectations and shines brighter than ever nearly 4 years later. Another remarkable milestone in her journey is her triumphant return to eating! When Amy began her journey with me 2 years post-stroke, the simplest acts were herculean efforts - she couldn't swallow her secretions, relying on spitting into a cup and going through 4-5 boxes of tissues daily, despite diligent swallowing therapy sessions three times a week, close to where she lives. She took a chance on driving all the way to Gainesville, Fl to meet with me to see if I could offer any other solutions . Well, I had unwavering faith in Amy’s healing and some tricks up my sleeves. Today, Amy enjoys puréed meals three times a day, savors Chick-fil-A frosted coffees and lemonades, and delights in smoothies. She's nearing her pre-injury weight, partaking in meals at restaurants, and living life to the fullest. Amy's birthday is a powerful reminder to never lose hope. With 2 years of therapy, disappointing swallow studies and numerous challenges under her belt, Amy chose to persevere, steadfastly trusting in a higher plan. Alongside her devoted caregiver, Margarita, they've traveled from Georgia twice weekly for nearly 1 year 9 months to pursue every opportunity for growth and therapy with our team. Their dedication is inspiring, and every lesson learned is meticulously carried over, showcasing their unshakeable commitment. Here's to Amy - Happy 40th birthday! We celebrate your life, your strength, and the remarkable progress you've made, and we eagerly anticipate the milestones still to come.

Today on Valentine’s Day we pay tribute to the life-changing power of love. When we first launched our practice, our ultimate ambition was to create a healthcare sanctuary that epitomizes love. We aim to be distinguished as a benchmark of love and care within our community, embracing each patient with the same affection and loyalty we would extend to our own family. By doing so, we seek to revitalize the core of healthcare. Love has perpetually been the underlying motivation behind our mission and values. Love embodies unwavering commitment, sacrifice, empathy, kindness, graciousness, gratitude, and understanding, allowing us to form profound connections with our patients and their loved ones, and ultimately, to love with the same depth that we are loved. We aspire to be courageous in our expression of love. May this day serve as a poignant reminder to personify love, experience love, and spread love in our daily lives, going beyond a solitary celebration of love. Happy Valentine’s Day from our family to yours.

We are so excited to welcome our new Patient Care Manager, Arianna, to our DSSS family! She is going to be an incredible addition to our team and she has such a loving heart for people!

“Hello, my name is Arianna and I am brand new to the DSSS family. I will be serving as your Patient Care Manager in the office.
A tidbit about myself: I enjoy traveling and trying different foods as I learn about different cultures, music, art, and history. I’ve been fortunate to participate in a few trips hosting students of lower income families and schools across the world to experience their first out-of-country educational venture, practicing local languages and deepening their world view.
In the DSSS family, I know I will continue learning and serving in a loving community.
Looking forward, I am excited to join this team and meet all of you—our patients, care-takers, and families.”

Today's coffee toast goes to one of our youngest pediatric clients under 2, whose mom bravely navigated a critical decision between two ENT recommendations for a submucous cleft palate. His mom sought my guidance, torn between tympanostomy tubes and cleft repair surgery. As a mom and a specialist, I understood the weight of this choice. While surgery seemed daunting for such a little one, my expertise in speech and swallowing led me to strongly support cleft repair. Three months post-surgery, the results are remarkable: the toddler now tolerates a variety of solid foods without vomiting or nasal regurgitation. I'll continue to guide mom through introducing new foods, celebrating this child's progress toward healthy growth. Kudos to the mom for trusting her instincts and making an informed decision - here's to many more milestones and a bright future ahead.

Today's coffee toast is not a story of a patient I’ve worked with for a long period of time. This is a patient and her mom whom I've had the privilege of meeting only twice. Today's toast is dedicated to the mom, a pillar of strength and resilience. Her daughter is on the spectrum, and from our very first meeting, I saw the depth of her mother's love, concern, and unwavering determination. After a recent move from up north, her daughter has faced significant challenges, and the mom's exhaustion is palpable. Yet, what's striking is the story she shared - a testament to the power of a mother's love versus the doubts of others. Despite being told by medical providers that her daughter's current state is her new norm, this remarkable woman refused to give up. The moment I met them, I knew that Haley and I had to join forces with them! The mom's eyes welled up with tears of joy and relief, knowing she's not alone in this fight. Her strength inspires me, a beacon of hope in exhaustion and sadness. Let's raise our cups to the parents who champion their children's causes, who refuse to accept 'no' for an answer, and who inspire us all with their unyielding spirit! I salute you and stand with you! I’m excited for our future update!

Let's raise our cups to celebrate his remarkable progress and the power of informed choices.

Today's coffee toast is dedicated to our wonderful Patient Care Manager, Makayla, as she embarks on her final day with us at DSSS, shining brightly on her way to a new horizon. With her heart full of passion for teaching, Makayla will be nurturing young minds in her new role as a teaching assistant, starting January. We're honored to have shared this journey with her and are deeply grateful for the compassion and love she showered upon our patients. Let's unite in raising our cups to her remarkable spirit and wishing her a future filled with joy, growth, and fulfillment.

🫶𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲🫶 Take a moment to see the good.

A new, heartwarming trend is taking place called "Grandma Stands." These pop-up booths feature a rotating group of volunteer grandmas who lend a listening ear and offer wisdom to complete strangers. "Anyone can walk by the purple lemonade stand and sit down across from a real grandmother to chit-chat, ask advice, or just vent a little to someone who’s seen it all."

This trend began when a reporter directed a struggling friend to ask his grandmother for advice. It went so well that this same reporter had his grandma set up a virtual booth in Brooklyn. Now in McKinney, Texas, a team of volunteer grandmas rotate counselor roles for the holidays behind the same style of purple lemonade stand that this reporter first used.

One of the grandmas stated, “We kind of know in our gut that we’ve lost a lot of connection, and true face-to-face connection. Which I think is what people find so refreshing [about] the novelty of sitting down in that setting.”

Ornaments? Never heard of them. No, our tree is filled with baubles! 😉🎄🎁

🧠𝐌𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲!🧠

Did you know? Being able to access information quickly (i.e. on the Internet) makes you less likely to remember it!

It’s highly convenient being able to access almost any piece of information in a few seconds with a string of typed words. Resources such as Google, Wikipedia, and YouTube have been major players in a revolution of how we find information. However, studies suggest there is another aspect to being able to access information so conveniently: if the brain knows it can find an answer again so easily, it’s less likely to remember the information itself!

So, if you really want to remember a fact, maybe try the older version of the internet-- head to the library! The more work you put into discovering an answer to a question, the more likely you are to remember it.
