taste of homemade food

Keith finally got to eat homemade rice & chicken porridge. He took 5-6 spoonful of porridge and some water. Afterwards, he got tired, but this was a wonderful accomplishment for him. The speech therapist said that it takes more than 100 muscles just to swallow! So, Keith is working many muscles just to get some food down his throat.

His left hand, fingers, and legs are functioning better everyday. He's able to signal "okay", thumbs up, and count with his left fingers. He's doing better sitting up by himself, although it really strains his neck. So, we're very proud of him...every day is another day of strong fighting and moving forward.

He's now off of antibiotics and everything has been pretty stable. Please pray for NO bladdar/urinary infection, which diabetic patients are more prone to get.
