James had speech therapy today. The therapist is still trying to work on his suck/swallow reflex. Today she tried a little mint on his tongue to see if he would have some sort of a reaction. Unfortunately, he didn’t appear to react at all. The therapist will keep trying different things and hopefully something will work.
