Changing foods

We are almost through our first week! Today went interesting...his first meal she decided to stick with his preferred food of gravy because the first meal can usually be more difficult ( he is typically more gaggy). He continued to do well and swallowed more timely. Then came the next meal of puréed  Mac and cheese (he has had this before and tolerated).  The goal was to try something that was thicker so that it would stay in Mason's mouth easier and wouldn't slide forward. Mason took the first 2 bites beautifully and swallowed very timely with no gagging. But then it was as if he realized they had changed it up on him and he wouldn't close his mouth to swallow. He may have gotten two more swallows in after that during that session. But in the third session after a good stern talking to do do his best (he said uh-huh) he did great with the new food. Hooray! Here's to praying for more success tomorrow and we get to see our family for Ashley but this weekend.
