For the past month or so my dad has been getting this new throat therapy so it can build up the muscles in his throat and one day eat again. Well that day has arrived! He has made great progress in the last month and had a swallow test and the women who did the test was so happy to see how well he is doing. This week the therapist wanted him to start eating soft foods and foods that are easy to swallow. Yesterday I gave him 10 small pieces of Watermelon, 10 Cheeto Puffs, and a small piece Angel Food Cake and he finished it all! I am so excited that he is actually eating now. He hasn't eaten anything since September when they put his feeding tube in. He still struggles a little bit but I think we are headed in a great direction. :)
