After five and a half very long weeks, this dude was finally cleared for any solid foods he wants to eat!

He celebrated with his favorite, of course – Panda Express! After some orange chicken and chow mein, he finished it off with half a Sprinkles Red Velvet cupcake.

A well fought battle to get to this point and we could not be more excited for him!

He is still aspirating all liquids, including thickened, so our friend the NG tube is sadly not leaving us anytime soon. He’s still only cleared for an ounce of water five times a day. So we still need prayer for those vocal cords to heal.

But for today, we’re relishing in this very big victory of our boy finally getting to eat again! Thank you so much for your prayers to make it happen!!!
