Let's Have a drink, shall we?

This week has been.........shitty, chaotic, out of sorts, stressful, humbling, tearful and joyous all at once. The bad is of course Jim passing and all the planning and preparation for his services. The other thing is that we have all been taking turns staying at their house, because we don't want Mom to stay by herself. We have looked at so many pictures this week and laughed our butts off at a lot of them. (i may have to sneak a few on here)

But the part that makes me want to have a drink is.......................

LIBBY'S SWALLOW STUDY WAS GOOD (4-15-09)! NOT JUST GOOD!!! NORMAL!!!

We tried honey consistency. No aspiration. No penetration.

We tried nectar consistency. No aspiration. No penetration.

We didn't try thin liquids, but we didn't want to push our luck.

So we are going to (I pray) be transitioning to drinking EVERYTHING out of a cup hopefully by the end of the year. Thank you Jesus!!!!!
Thanks for all the prayers. I can't help but feel like her Papa put in a good word for her with the "Big Man".

Just so you know, yes I did take a picture of her with her first sippy cup and of course I'll post it when we are home.
