Update - Day 13 - 7:06PM

  • Well Joshua managed to pull out his feeding tube again last night, seems whatever he can get his hands on to he grabs and does not want to let go.
  • Today he was alert almost all day most all day, he worked with both a physical therapist and speech therapist.
  • The speech therapist is evaluating Joshua's ability to swallow, if he can correctly and safely swallow they will be able to start feeding him normal. That would be really good as the feeding tube that he is currently using goes through one of his nostrils and is very uncomfortable (probably why he keeps pulling it out.) Also that type can only be used for a short time (few weeks) if he needs to use a feeding tube for longer than that then that would require a surgery. (PEG)
