The swallow test showed that Logan was able to get the liquid (some barium junk) down without choking, so the speech pathologist has begun giving him small amounts of juices. The length of time it takes for him to get the juice down varies each time, but that should improve with practice. He is also responding to more commands each day; today while Amy was with him, she asked him to throw a ball that he was holding and he did. We are pretty sure that he was aiming for her and had been thinking about it for some time. We are still waiting for the date for the tendon surgery; hopefully, this week we'll get that scheduled. Everything continues to go well. He is moving a lot and his fine motor skills are improving. Robby took him outside a few times this weekend to enjoy the warm, sunny weather while it lasts. Therapy is getting more strenuous, with them assisting Logan in standing and stepping out with his right foot. The tendon lengthening will make this process easier by enabling him to place his left foot flat on the floor. He requires a lot of support to do any of these activities, and they are working on strengthening the muscles needed to do them. He's usually worn out when they're done with him. That's about all for now, thanks for your continued prayers and support.
