Today was a big day for John. He had his swallow test today. This consisted of trying to eat a number of foods of different consistencies. They were all dyed blue. After he had these to eat his lungs were then suctioned to see if there was any blue in his lungs. He passed the test with flying colours. This means his naso-gastric (feeding) tube came out of his nose. Was he ever happy! I was able to feed him lunch and supper. He was so eager to eat that even hospital food tasted great to him. Pray that he will be careful especially when he is drinking so that it doesn't go into his lungs.
Praying and so glad to hear the news. This is the real Thanksgiving...I think

Oh my goodness..... I have been imagining your first bites of food....it must have been glorious!! How right it is that at Thanksgiving you feasted with the rest of us....I'm sure glad God likes sharing meals with us....even when they are dyed blue hospital foods. May you appreciate and fully enjoy every day the food He feeds you....
ReplyDeleteLove from the feast loving food gobbling Tanasiuk Termites...I'm fairly sure the ministers cat is a festive feasting but never frivolous cat.
John, I am so thrilled for you that you passed the swallow test! I bet it felt so good to eat and taste some real food again. What a joy! Keep up all the good work that you are doing...you are progressing daily. You are in my thoughts and prayers regularly.
ReplyDeleteWay to go John! Good news for us to read! The food must have tasted s-o-o- good!
