Today was a much better day for Ronnie. They did a swallow study on him. It was very interesting to watch. They put a camera in his nose to see how his epiglottis and vocal cords are functioning while eating and drinking. One of his vocal cords is not quite closing as much as it should, causing the other to move more to close off his airway. Although the speech therapist said that it is better. She did clear him to drink liquids without thickener and eat regular food. No more food from a blender. Yea! It's just the little things that are exciting. They tried to have him sit on the side of the tilt table to see how his blood pressure did. He stayed for about 15 minutes then it dropped again so they laid him back down to stabilize it. So he did not stand up, but all in all he did great. Tomorrow will be surgery around 10 a.m. They will concentrate on the right hand and places on his side and chest, and a few other patches that the grafts did not take. Thanks for lifting Ronnie up in prayer.
