He is home, and so happy to be in his own bed!
He recovered well from the croup, his breathing is significantly improved, and his color and appetite are back 
The swallow study was a failure. He is aspirating all liquids, but does okay with thicker textures like banana. They recommended intensive feeding therapy and some more G tube conversations. Bah humbug. For now, all I’m going to worry about is his full recovery. I’ll deal with the rest later.

Have you checked out feeding/swallowing therapy at NAPA Center? I’ve heard kids having success with the program they offer – since X is able to eat fine, we haven’t tried it.

We did VitalStim and are waiting for another swallow study to see if there were improvements. Might be something to look into. Glad the prince is home!
