Reagan
(of course)
is not aspirating formula while she eats.
Getting ready for the swallow study.
Watching Reagan swallow during the fluoroscopy was beautiful... smooth, completely without incident. Better than she eats at home... definitely not her norm. However, all that mattered is that they saw she was able to eat on her own. After the study concluded, the speech pathologist told me that she passed with flying colors and I blew her a kiss. We had tried very hard to get them to remove the feeding tube for the study but they wouldn't.
When they wheeled Reagan and I back to the room, there was lots of whooping and hollering as I told Mom and Tom that she had passed the test.
Reagan, my little impatient wonder... decided that she didn't need to wait for the nurse to come take the tube out. She did it herself.. tape and all!
Mom and Tom convinced me to go home this afternoon and to spend some time with Ryan. I really miss him. I know this is all confusing to him. I'll stay overnight tonight, and then take him to school in the morning. After I drop him off, I'll come straight to the hospital.
Pop Pop came down for a visit... yay for no more tube!
