Well, since trying our little guy on a cup he has done really well it seems. It has been just over a week since he started with a cup again and so far his lungs seem clear. He has a bit of a cold as well so sometimes he is a little rattly when he breathes but it sounds mostly upper respiratory and not in his lungs.
The plan is to go to his next appointment on June 20 at Children's Hospital and see if there is any more improvement on his swallow study. Based on that the doctor will determine what is next for Braden. Either he will need a stomach tube if the doctor isn't happy with how the study goes or if things start to decline with Braden's breathing, or he will stay on double thick liquids only or possibly we will be able to give him single thick liquids. Single thick liquids obviously would help keep him hydrated better in the summer months and so that would be great. However, it is not worth rushing ahead to a point where Braden's health declines because he is aspirating again.
So far we are very happy with how things are going and we feel very blessed to have such an easy going, happy and healthy "little" guy!
