And, one step closer to going home. Good evening. One week and one day have passed. George has been scheduled for a swallow study tomorrow. The results will help speech decide if he can try an actual tray. We may get the tube out completely before discharge. We'll see how he does. I'll know more tomorrow.

A swallow study. How interesting. I hope it goes well and he can soon eat some normal food.

@celticeagle Yeah, so far he's doing pretty good, but he wants to inhale his food.

No. You drink a dye that can be seen under light. And, then you watch what it does.

@RebeccasFarm Yeah, I've never had it done, but I'm told it tastes pretty bad.

I hope the swallow study tells you a lot about how he can relearn to eat.

It was mixed. But, we're working on it. We're trailing actual food.
