Great news! They did the video analysis of the swallowing. He gets to eat! He can have moist (gross word) puree for now. They said he has some trouble recognizing when he still has food in his throat. He also tends to eat too fast. Right now, he can only eat in his speech therapy sessions and at designated times after mom and I are trained. It will be mostly mom working with him because I am leaving on Saturday.
I'm sad to be leaving this weekend, but I feel much better about leaving this week than I did when I thought I was going to leave last week. 2 weeks ago today, dad was having his tumor removed and we were all anxiously waiting to hear something. Today, he is recovering like a champ!
Thank you for praying for him! We appreciate you all so much:)
Love,
The Cross's
