Well, technically speaking...he kinda sorta passed, a little. His therapist said his swallow looks a little better than last time, but he didn't necessarily get the green light to eat on his own. He will begin a regimen of therapeutic eating, which means one of his therapists has to be present when he eats to make sure everything goes smoothly. And he has to start with a diet of soft foods, no thin liquids or Kiltie burgers. I was really ready for him to finally pass the darn thing, but we're all about baby steps. He will have yet another swallow test in a month to monitor his progress, and he may receive more collagen in the future to help the process. I guess we have to be glad his therapists are being extra careful...it's not worth taking the chance and getting pneumonia.
So on the menu for our mother's day dinner? All you can eat pudding, applesauce, and ice cream...yahoo!

I can't tell you how great it was to see Pat at AWANA tonight!!! We continue to pray for Pat and your entire family. Your family has been such an inspiration to me, to see God receive such glory in such a horrific accident. I praise God for His healing hand on Pat, and was so excited to hear he's going home on Tuesday. Thanks for making AWANA awards night so incredibly special!
Pat, You will NEVER forget last night at AWANA. I remember, like it was yesterday, when Dave Mead welcomed me back to the Worship Team, and the whole church stood and clapped. Isn't the love you feel amazing?
My emotions went between crying (actually sobbing out loud) and cheering last night. I'm choked up now. Every time I think about you rolling out onto the stage, I am overcome.
Sorry, Jeannie and Mike (and Jason), I didn't even look at you once Pat came out.
Please don't think I care any less because I didn't come to the hospital--I just couldn't get there.
You are ALL in my heart. (I can make room for you after God!)

What an incredible testimony to God's amazing and awesome love for us when last night at AWANA we received such a precious gift. We will continue to pray for all the Bohrmans and for Pat's homecoming. God bless you, Pat.
Whoa! I can't keep up with your social life! What happy news that a sleepover might happen soon. Here's to permanent shacking up! Prayers and blessings!
Hey Bohrman's!
I am so thankful that you are on the road to being home Pat. Even though Amy has given us an honest and heartfelt glimpse of some of what you've been through I'm sure the real deal just can't be put into words. How great for your church family to surround you with such love. I continue to lift you up in prayer and look forward to learning of what God continues to do through you all. There are others you don't know here in Bama that are following your story and we'll probably never know the impact this has had on those you are not hearing from. I'm looking forward to you passing that swallow test! Thanks and praise to God for your continued healing and changed lives through all of you. Love, Hubbell
Happy Mother's Day Jeannie!
I have it on great authority, my brother (Drew), that the Kiltie will be open til at least the end of Sept. So I pray that your throat muscles will continue to strengthen and you can have some custard and a burger soon!!! Have a great Mother's Day, Jean!
Psm 16:5-6 says "Lord, YOU are my portion and my cup of blessing; YOU hold my future. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance" So I pray on this day that you feel the cup of our Lord's blessing upon you and your entire family.
Love & Blessings<><
Fell Family
