He was in a swallowy mood!

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!
