Fancy words for a test that will determine if Judah is still aspirating, and an evaluation to see how he's doing in the eating department. I'm really nervous about this. I don't know how Judah will do this morning (the diglut. is at 10:00), and so much is riding on this. Most of the oral goals we set for Judah in his IFSP review are based on the assumption that the palate repair would fix the aspiration problem. If he's no longer aspirating then we can go back to normal liquids. Thickening his liquids is what landed us in the NG situation, which turned into a G Button, in the first place. Normal liquids is HUGE! Then we can start moving forward in weaning him off the button, learning to use a sippy cup, getting off formula, and progressing towards our goal of being on a normal diet! This is a 12 mo. goal, but we can't move anywhere if he's still aspirating! Help, Lord!
Thanks for praying. I'll keep you posted...
