Update on Luke

Yesterday Luke had a swallow test to find out why he is having problems swallowing and not doing well with bottles. He tried a few different consistencies and they determined that he will do best if his bottle feeds are the consistency of honey. They will need to add some thickener to his bottles and are trying to determine whether milk will give him enough calories or if he needs to be switched to formula. Today Luke took all of his bottle in 10 minutes! That's great news and a very good sign. The last few weeks have been tiring and depressing because Luke was not making any progress. Hopefully this will bring continued improvement and get him closer to coming home.
