Swallow Study

On Friday, May 18, Caden had a barium swallow study. I really wasn't worried he had an unsafe swallow because if he did, he would have had aspiration pneumonia by now. Or at least some other symptom which showed us he had a problem. But the main reason we did this was because Caden's new feeding therapist wanted to make sure, and also wanted to see how things moved down the esophagus. She was hoping to see if he had slow motility in the esophagus. I'm not sure the imaging was great for that, but from what they could tell, everything looks good and they verified he has a safe swallow.
