Day 74.... Tyler had his swallowing study today. It went very well. The therapist was VERY pleased, she he was stronger than what she had thought. Very littlo pooling of food in the back of his mouth and throat and no aspirations. This is good so they can start giving him more food, as he moves his tongue and mouth muscles more this will help him in starting to use his vocal chords and forming sounds and eventually hopefully speaking. He gets to go swimming tomorrow!! This should be really fun for him, and to get in the pool should feel really good, for all the tired muscles from therapy. He was working this evening on moving his tongue in and out of his mouth and side to side, and turning his head side to side. We took a nice long walk and evaluated all of the pictures on the first floor of the hospital and we stopped to look at the beautiful sunset out of the big windows. He continues to get stronger and work hard, and with God and all the prayers he moves forward each day. Thanks!!
