He did great on his swallow study! They gave him liquids by mouth for the first time, and he did just fine! We were so surprised! He is really careful with what they give him, which is perfect for him! The doctor said he is really protecting his airway, which is so refreshing after hearing for so many months that he wasn't protecting his airway at all!
He is really slow getting the food swallowed, it's almost methodical how he moves the food around and swallows just a little bit at a time!
So we're cleared to give him liquid by the baby spoonful! He's probably not ready for a sippy cup yet, but we'll take whatever we can get! Hooray!
You should not be so hard on yourself just for forgetting one thing!!! I think both of you have done so good on everything considering all you had to think about every time you have had to go to Cinncy!I am very proud of you both!!!! Kisses to Micah and hjope you had a safe trip home.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that Micah did so well on his swallow study. This is truly good news. Can't wait to see you all again.
