Today Cyrus participated in a swallow study to insure that he was feeding well and not inhaling his food into his lungs. He passed with flying colors and so will not need a feeding tube at this time. He has been taken off the IV fluids and was laughing up a storm for daddy. Assuming he continues to do well overnight, we will be going home tomorrow with our new meds (that have worked all week) in hand and our new clearly established emergency protocols!
Cyrus did well off of the IV and we've finally made it back home!! We're settling in as the cats treat us suspiciously.
We also got to see the actual pictures from Cyrus's MRI this morning which showed the damaged basal ganglia and thalamus, however all his higher brain functions are intact so he is likely to continue to cognitively, socially, and emotionally mature - just with weird sporadic uncoordinated movements interrupting him from time to time.
