Coffee toast graduation!

Celebrating Ira’s remarkable journey to triumph! Ira had a swallow study done back in January that revealed a profoundly impaired swallow. During the test when he swallowed the food/liquid went straight into his lungs instead of down his esophagus. The study was immediately halted and a feeding tube was recommended. He was desperate for another option. He went to Orlando to try to find a specialist but he reported that they told him that they couldn’t do much for him. That’s when his daughter found us. Ira was unbelievably dedicated to traveling over 6 hours a week to do intensive swallowing therapy and was plugged into his home exercise program between sessions. His unrelenting commitment yielded outstanding results, as a recent swallow study revealed ZERO aspiration - a resounding testament to his unshakeable resolve. He’s excited about his quality of life and enjoying meals during the holidays with his family. Congratulations, Ira, on this profoundly deserved victory! Coffee toast graduation!
