On Thursday Jason was treated to a trip to another wing of the hospital. The staff wanted to see how well his swallowing mechanisms worked before we take him home (as choking is never good and it can be prevented if they know how well a baby swallows his milk or formula.) So they put him in a little red chair and watched his profile in an X-ray that took successive pictures while he drank a milk mixture.
The test took about 15 minutes but we had about an hour outside of the transition ward that Jason was assigned to for the last two weeks. Its relieving to us that he did really well. Here is another picture of the X-ray action as I captured it. Jason loved the whole experience and he was pretty tired out after the trip was done. I was amazed how long he stayed active and awake; and the best part was he was a happy charming baby through the entire activity.
Other news is that Jason is growing! He is up to 2.7 Kg, just about 6 pounds.
