Friday June 25th Swallow Test Failed

Blake is back at Primary Children's today for a check-up and swallow test. He was able to pass the first part, the yogurt like substance, but failed the rest. This means that he will now have to have a G-Tube surgically placed into his stomach. I guess that it is not good to have the nose tube long term. They will do the surgery on Monday. Mom also said that they are going to put in a new trach because he is starting to outgrow the original one.

Otherwise he has been doing very well at home.

Dad will be in on Thursday to see his Dr. for his consultation for his artery issue. Who knows what they will end up doing for him or when they will do it.

Things went well with Blake's surgery yesterday. It ended up being a less invasive process then they had originally anticipated. The tube just goes right into his stomach and does not need to go directly into his intestines. Other than being a little grumpy when he woke up, I think everything went well and they will release him today or tomorrow.
