Default Holding pattern

I think I mentioned that I had some more tests last week. I had an EMG done on Thursday last week. The results were normal again. Since the results have been normal in the past, I knew that might be possible, but somehow it is discouraging. I'm waiting to hear what the next step will be.

I had a barium swallow test done on Friday also. It showed various problems with swallowing, including things routinely going down the wrong way, and weak muscles for swallowing. They made a couple of recommendations immediately, along with suggesting therapy. I will see a speech therapist to learn some exercises to try. I hope it will help.

So meanwhile, I am in a holding pattern.

Take care,
Erin
