Update

Our trip to Pittsburgh was successful on Tuesday despite lots of bands of snow squalls on the way down and back. The Modified Barium Swallow Test showed that Rowan has no problems swallowing at all and everything is going down the right tube. Nothing is being aspirated into his lungs. That's good news. Of course, we still don't know what is wrong. We've just eliminated one more possibility. The scope I talked about earlier will now be scheduled though I don't know when.
Rowan continues to be a joy and everyone who sees him says he's grown, and I think he has too. He's starting to get another chin, dimples in his elbows and a little chunk on his thighs but for the amount he eats he should have three chins and dimples everywhere. Of course, he did poop five times yesterday. Oh well.
