Hello. Not posted on here before. DS is 16 months old, and has a lung condition which makes him dependent on additional O2, 24/7. He has an unsafe swallow for liquids only, so has a PEG. Aspiration has compromised his lung health, so we're worried about introducing liquids again. Just wondered, has anyone else's child had an unsafe swallow for liquids only, did it eventually resolve, and what, if any treatment/training did your child get? We are involved with SALT, but they seem to be at a loss what to do. Anyone got experience of a specialist hospital/SALT service we could ask him to be referred to?
Thanks for reading!
