Raphael had another barium swallow study test today, a video fluoroscopy. This is where they take an x-ray video of him swallowing various different textures to see what his swallow actually looks like.
Sure enough the speech pathologists called his swallow uncoordinated and there was a very clear aspiration when he was drinking thin textures, such as his Nutrini milk. There was no sign of reflux during this study but that doesn't mean that it doesn't happen at all, it just means that it didn't happen during the study.
Notably after he had a drink, later in the day, he did a massive vomit, the largest one I have ever seen him do.
