Swallow Study

At 1:30pm today Brock will undergo a swallow study to determine if we will be able to continue trying to feed him by mouth or not. If he is aspirating (breathing fluid due to him not closing off his breathing tube while swallowing) then we won't be able to try bottle feeding for a while. If he passes, then they'll move the feeding tube up to the bottom of his stomach. The tube currently goes past his stomach and into his intestine (less risk of reflux that way). They will add barium dye to some breast milk and track the fluid with a series of X-rays and the hope is that he is able to keep from breathing any of it. Prayers that he does well, please.  http://www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/upper-gastrointestinal-ugi-series

We should have results as soon as the study is over.
