Swallow Test and Video Scope of Vocal Chords
I am taken some very good advice from the friends of the stroke community and noting blogs of our recovery. Oliver had a swallow test today, the results were the same as the last test. He can eat pudding consistency foods. I started to say that he can ONLY eat pudding consistency foods, but that sound negative. On the positive side, he can eat. We didn't go backwards. He also had a video scope of the vocal chords. The therapist stated that she expected the results to be that the right side chords were paralyzed, but they were not, only weak. YEA! Another prayer answered. So more therapy to strengthen these muscles. I have learned how to read blogs that you my friends have noted. So many of them lifted me up. I've decided to look forward instead of back and always look for something good in every day. We will overcome. Our lives won't be the same as before, but if we work at it, our lives will be better. He just ate a bowl of veg soup with crackers...this is a first. Thanks to all of you for the words of encouragement. I am looking forward to getting to know each of you thru the chat. Take care all and have a very blessed week-end. Judy and Oliver
