Logan had a swallow study at Gillette last Friday. We had the test done to evaluate his swallowing after having gone through intense speech therapy using a technique called vital stim. Unfortunately the results were not positive. He is aspirating just about everything including his own secretions. The therapist at the test recommended we stop feeding Logan by mouth until he can be evaluated further. His congestion is improving. We are only having to give him a neb a couple times a day instead of every four hours. The GJ feeding tube is getting easier to work with. We are trying to figure out how to maneuver the tubing with his clothing. He is starting to outgrow a lot of the infant pajamas and onsies that helped hold the tubing in place. He is still skinny, all his growth shows in his height! I have done some web research on different clothing options and my mother in law, Cindy and I are going to try and make adjustments to his clothes.
A side note, a great side note!: Logan got his fourth tooth in last week. It is his second molar. He skipped a few of the front teeth and decided to grow molars instead!
