Despite John's progress with swallowing and eating this week, his feeding tube was not removed today. The medical staff needs to actually see him swallowing through x-rays before they will remove the tube. John has been scheduled for a swallow test this Friday. During the exam he will sit inside a special chair that will take multiple x-rays as he swallows food. If all goes well, John will be parting ways with his feeding tube this Friday.
Prayer Requests:
- John to be relaxed during the exam and be able to swallow
- John's feeding tube to be removed this Friday after the exam
- continued strengthening of his entire body as he still favors his right side
