His nurse noticed this afternoon that he sounds gragely when he eats which is a concern because the vocal cords could have been damaged during surgery. They went ahead and put his feeding tube back in and will do a swallow study tomorrow to see if anything was damaged and to what degree. We would rather them take the precaution then have him aspirate.
They are also still having a hard time keeping his blood pressure under 100. I guess this is just a trial and error process that takes some time. We are trying to be patient but wish it wasn't so complicated.

Oh Jaymie! What a precious picture of the two of you. He knows who his mommy is! We are happy he is getting better - even if only in baby steps. We'll continue to think of all daily. We love you!
