Woo-hoo!

Yesterday was a big day for Riley.  Josh took her down to Scottish Rite for a repeat swallow study to see where is is in her swallowing abilities.  The short of it is that Riley can swallow!!!!  Riley had been given some yummy Barium to swallow and Josh said he was able to watch the liquid actually do what it was supposed to and go where it was supposed to.  So my tough little cookie was able to taste some sweet potatoes yesterday.  This won't be an easy thing and it may take a couple of months before Riley knows how to actually eat, but this is a HUGE step in the right direction and we are so thrilled for our little girl.  We're prepared to have to take extra steps with Riley through out her life and this just shows that we are on the right track.
