Well, Addy ROCKED her swallow study yesterday. However..... it was full of some valuable feeding info for us. It showed that she is not aspirating of any consistency, yeah! Buuuuttt it did show that she is extremely guarded when she swallows. She takes a long time to initiate the swallow and she is holding quite a bit under her tongue before moving it back to swallow. So we are going to continue working on increasing the bolus size and hopefully the sensory issues will continue to decrease. She's not going to love this by any means but it's necessary if we ever want her to eat orally. I'm at the point that I'm thinking that she may never eat by mouth. That's ok, I just hate it for her, I definitely enjoy eating!
She does love to help Little Man eat though, lol!

awe hopefully she loses the sensory in her mouth. i know how that goes though my daughter has bad sensory issues and only eats certain things.
Great news, praying she does well and oral feedings are around the corner. Sorry little man is sick, hope he is doing better!
