Yesterday morning they ran a CT scan on him. The scan results indicated everything they were looking was normal. Also, they were concerned about how far back his tongue was attached, but after a closer examination they determined that too, was normal. We're still waiting on some blood tests (for possible infections) to come back but they're expecting those to be negative (that's good).
So, right now he needs to be eating, and specifically working to eat (not just being fed). As long as he does that we should be able to get him back in a few days. His cleft palate in the back of his mouth will be fixed with surgery when he is 9-12 months old. Fortunately it's only on the soft palate, so it should be a minor fix.

Good to hear that things are looking better. Poor little guy! I hope he comes home soon. What a horrible time to go through this with you both in school. If you need anything, let me know. You're in our prayers! I hope Katherine is doing well, considering. I know she was pretty worried about him when I came to visit and when I spoke to her on the phone! Tell her I love her!
Glad to hear about Liam's progress. You're all in our thoughts and prayers.
