Donte did phenomenal with the soft solid diet trial yesterday and today. He is having difficulty with chewing on the left side (like most of the motor function on his body, which makes sense because he has more right frontal lobe damage. The right side of the brain controls the left side of the body.), but he is able to pace himself and is able to chew and swallow appropriately and with little trouble. With all that being said, Donte has been moved to a completely soft solid diet and has been switched from getting medicine through his peg tube to oral medication! What a blessing! Now, the last step of the game on this forefront, is to get the peg removed. Then Donte will only have what God gave him on his body :)
You see, times will get tough. Not every moment is going to be gumdrops and cotton candy. There will be moments that will be rotten. There will be days of tremendous improvement and in turn there will be set backs. It is important to trust that there is a purpose in the tragedy and that there will be good that come out of the bad- there always is.
If you continue the prayers and stay faith driven and positive, I truly believe that makes a world of a difference.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in The Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
Stay strong, Stay blessed, Take care and HAVE HOPE!
