Okay, so the throat doctors did their thing and Micah's vocal cords look fine. What they say is going on is that the signals from Micah's brain aren't reaching his throat in time to block off his wind pipe. That's why he's aspirating his food. This should resolve itself over a few weeks, as Micah gets stronger. He'll have to do another swallow test in a few weeks, but they aren't going to keep Micah here for that.
This was from earlier this afternoon; I just had my pace maker "class" and the throat doctors are here trying to figure out what's going on with Micah's swallow. I'm really hoping it's nothing more than bruised vocal cords and that after a few more weeks he'll be able to eat from a bottle again without any more trouble than he normally has because of his cleft. That would be the best outcome

Thank you so much for these updates Susanne and Laura, I really appreciate hearing all the news about Micah. He's an amazing little guy isn't he.
Wishing you a very happy Thanksgiving.
