Well, the doctors decided to go ahead and do a swallow study on Tyler this morning at 10 to further determin if he is asperating or not because he is still coughing pretty bad when he is fed, even when he is fed through his feeding tube. The results should be in this afternoon or tomorrow. I am hoping that if he is asperating it can be solved by thickening his milk or putting him on meds. When a baby has a severe asperation problem they some times have to do surgery. If you all don't mind please pray for Tyler again and that he will not have to go through surgery, he has been through alot more than some and he will only be a month old on Tuesday. Other than that he is still holding his own and his vital signs look great. I will update again a.s.a.p.

i hope everything turns out fine and he can come home soon

maybe he coughs for the same reason valkyrie does, my doc said some babys need time to get use to their tounges and the nipple and the fluid and all that and they have such a strong gag reflex that they just end up gaging and coughing

granted valkyrie doesnt do it all the time but she does it probably at 50% of her feedings

lets just hope its something simple like that
