It' a Good day!

Devin is doing so well! Doctors did a swallow study to examine if Devin has the ability to perform the task of swallowing and he passed! Katy was able to feed him a bite of yogurt and feed him from a bottle and his reflexes and the swallowing process was a success. They needed to make sure he wouldn't aspirate and that the swallowing function would be properly executed. He has been cleared to eat food! He will remain on the feeding tube just long enough to make sure he is getting the right amounts of nutrition and then they will be able to remove it! PRAISE the Lord!!!

Doctors have re clamped the brain drain as of a few hours ago and Devin's inter cranial pressure is staying low so he may not need the shunt after all. They will continue to monitor his pressures and swelling and will perform a CT scan tomorrow to evaluate his levels.

Thank you again for ALL of your prayers! We are so thankful to be blessed by such a comforting group of people.

God Bless Ü

  3. I do not know the family at all. I found this blog through an online forum, but I pray for little Devin and Katy and the whole family every night. And I catch myself checking for an update several times a day.

    I will continue to pray for the family. It is so great to see God working miracles every day!
