Tube News.

So Esias is healing quite well! He does not act like it is still sore. We haven't done Tylenol at all today. So far so good. He is eating well too- when we feed him purees, he loves it. When he is suppose to put them in his own mouth, he cries! Stinker. We also got a new tool to help him learn how to swallow better. It's called a dysphagia flexicup. It has a little cut out around his nose so he doesnt have to tip up. That way it keeps his airway closed while drinking (slurping). We still have to put the thick thick purees in the cup, but it's for learning how to swallow from a cup instead of a spoon. All in time, he will learn these things! He continues to sleep awesome and be pretty happy. He definitely cries more than he did three months ago, but he's a changing, growing boy with lots to say and do!
