Once he passes the speech eval, they will allow him to eat/drink (this is done too because the breathing tube can cause inflammation to parts of the throat that involve speech and swallowing. If he has trouble talking clearly, he could have swelling which would cause him to choke on a simple sip of water. But that swelling goes down rather quickly).

He will likely be transferred to a cardiac unit in the hospital to continue to monitor his heart rhythm. By now they should have performed all the test they need to evaluate for cardiac issues (blockages, etc) however I have 99% confidence he didn’t have blockage, as that would show up on his ekg or cardiac monitoring.

I’d also say he will likely pass his other therapy evals, and will likely be put on cardiac medications to ensure his rhythms stabilize. As long as his vital signs and cardiac rhythms are stable, they will continue to progesss him and eventually discharge him. He will likely have many follow ups with cardiologist to ensure this was all an isolated event.
