Well today was a day of firsts for Greyson.\u00a0 We tried him out in the hip hammock and he seemed to do OK with that.\u00a0 He was a little unsure as were we (I think for different reasons) but it went well and was fun to try him out in a\u00a0 new position.\u00a0 We also gave him his first bottle……well sort of.\u00a0 See Greyson needs to have a swallow study to see if he can begin to take food safely by mouth.\u00a0 The problem is we found out in order to do a swallow study he needs to be able to take around 2 ounces of fluid by mouth.\u00a0 Now without the swallow study how are we supposed to know if he can take 2 ounces by mouth?\u00a0 So tonight we decided that since we know it is possible to put saline down his trach (we have to do this sometimes to loosen up the secretions and we suction it right back out so it is safe) we decided to put sterile water in a bottle and see if he could drink some of that.\u00a0 So Stacy worked with him on the bottle while I stood ready with a suction catheter ready to suction on a moments notice.\u00a0 So how’d it go?\u00a0 No idea.\u00a0 We think he may have drank some, quite a bit definately wound up on his shirt, but he did keep the bottle nipple in his mouth better than his pacifiers so that was possitive.\u00a0 Basically we are going to have to keep working on it with him to see what he can do, so we can take him in and see what he can do!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
