Ellis had a great Valentine's Day and felt very loved. We could tell.
This week Ellis will continue her exercises and sign language lessons, but the special focus for us for a few days is extra practice swallowing. She will have another video swallow test done next week, which will determine if she can begin taking more food by mouth. She has been tasting tiny little bites of baby food for a while now, and we have mostly given her the basic apples, bananas, and sweet potatoes. She seems to like them all but I'm really trying to find something she LOVES to make the swallowing test a little better for her. Today we are trying apples with blueberries. Tomorrow, pears. If only we could find a way to put barium in a dum dum.
I'm partial to strawberries with chocolate :-)
