This comes to you a short time after my Grandmothers passing, My Great Uncle, her brother, Barney McGeary has just passed. As some of you know, he loved horses and was an actor. He had some small roles in movie's: Hot to Trot, Kiss of a Killer, Fatel Judgement, to name a few. I was able to down load from YouTube a short part he had in The Golden Girls. If you click on the 3rd square, he is the priest when the time played was at 4:29, Father Callahan. He and my Grandmother remained close even though their was 3,000 miles between them. They are together today.

Hello on this snowy day. As long as we are inside I don't mind it. Meatloaf is on the menu for today, a nice hot wintery meal. Anyhow, Alec's swallow test went really well. He did great with solid food, his rotary motions to chew and break down the food are back with no aspiration, to solid foods that is.
We attempted again thin liquids, well just a regular glass of apple juice. It still is not happening. He aspirated the juice. I have to continue to thicken his liquids and hydrate him through ng; at least for another 3 months until our next swallow study. He is doing very well in school. When I picked him up he was writing R's it was so cute, you could see him really concentrating. He is truly enjoying his school life and new friends to the fullest. He still gets tired during the day and needs a good 2 hour nap. Unfortunately it interferes with therapies sometimes but his rest is needed as much as them. And his therapist are so understanding, it's great. Well gotta run he just woke up.
