so today is frankys swallow study. just a quick update why he is getting this done. like i said in his breathing study. when he eats food larger then a grain of rice he has a hard time swallowing it, or chokes. so since his breathing study did not show anything going wrong. we are getting a swallow study just to make sure that his food is going where it needs to go and not in his air way. but he has no history of lung infections so i highly doubt thats the case. but you never know. another thing we are looking at. since he is having such a hard time swallowing thick foods and keeping leveled jaw structure when hes eating this could mean that his disability is affecting the muscles in his jaw as well. and hopefully they will tell us with the therapy treatment that he is in now will help him eventually get to where he needs to be as far as textures of food. the bad news we dont want to get today is if this is such a major problem for him that he just cannot eat thicker foods that he will need a feeding tube. BUT i dont think that will happen bc hes already going on 2 does not have a lung infection problem. but like i always say you never know =(
