Barium swallow Test

Gerald had a modified barium swallow test yesterday at St. Joe's Hospital.

Barium swallow test is a test of to determine if the individual is having difficulty or problem in swallowing. In Gerald case problem swallowing liquid food and probably painful swallowing too. 

 This is the picture how the barium swallow test http://www.mountnittany.org/assets/images.

I couldn't take any pictures inside because I had to help the feeding therapist assisting with Gerald. Because he was screaming form the top of his lungs! oh God!

He had this test couple times already since he was a year old and he was already on honey thick consistency and he still need honey thick consistency because on the test showed a silent aspiration when it diluted to a low consistency.
