• Calvin Bootsma as he did not pass his swallow test last Monday, so no feeding tube pulled. Friday, August 19, he has appointment with the Ear, Nose and Throat specialist in Sioux Falls. The films from swallow tests will be sent to them and they will decide 1) leave it, 2) pull it out, 3) put one right in to his stomach. Mentally the same. Pray that God gives Calvin patience and the right chemicals for his brain, to get out of that deep, dark 'hole' he is in.
