A Whole New Man!

Well, we had Jack on four prayer lists, three prescriptions, and he has visited with ten to twenty medical professionals; so, we can't exactly pinpoint what it was that brought about this recent change, but he has been a completely different baby the past few days and you can see it in his pictures. Jack went to see a specialist this week named Dr. Barth. Dr. Barth ran a few simple external tests and basically decided that he was a healthy baby. He also told us that when a baby has a true swallow problem, it tends to be accompanied by a number of additional symptoms (of which Jack had none). As you may recall, last week Jack had to undergo a swallow test, and we were told that he was swallowing milk into his lungs. Dr. Barth said that there was only one laboratory that he trusted to run that particular test and that the one we visited was not it, so to be sure that his prognosis was the right one he made an appointment for Jack to have a second test. To make a long story short, Jack underwent a second swallow test at the "competent" place and passed with flying colors. So, without further ado, may we present happy Jack:
