Swallow Test

The neurologist came in today to assess John and was pleased with his progress and said he was optimistic for his recovery.  John was noticeably trying to swallow a couple times today so tomorrow's swallow test has been cancelled with no plans to reschedule yet.  He has been alert at times today and able to focus and watch some videos.  He is currently napping.  He needs to wear a Jiggle Jacket every 4 hours for about 20 minutes to loosen the mucus in his lungs.  Erin is feeling a bit better so she will make a quick visit soon. 

Prayer Requests:
- for John to continue to attempt to swallow so that he will not need a feeding tube
- for his body to fight off the Rhino virus and pneumonia quickly
- for the entire Rowland family to find time to be all together again tomorrow
