Zachary's visit to Lutheran General

Randy and I feel like we may finally be moving in the right direction! Today we took Zachary to Lutheran General for a swallow study. They put him in a special seat and watched him on the x-ray while he ate. Within a minute they could see the food spilling into his lungs. They stopped the test, thickened the bottle and continued to watch him on the x-ray. The thickening of the bottle seemed to help immediately. We have an appointment on Thursday for a full feeding evaluation. It was breaking our heart to watch him scream in pain while we fed him. It is such a sense of relief to know we can help fix part of the problem. We realize this is not the magic fix but it is a step in the right direction. I will make sure to post another update after our appointment on Thursday. Thanks for all the positive thoughts!!!!
