Hi, Vital Stim is being paid by my insurance company without any problems. After 8 sessions they did a swallowing test where they could see with an X ray how well the muscles were working and we were told their was no significant difference from the last test. As a result Bob my husband has to eat nectar thick food. He appears to be eating much better every day and we were all quite surprised by the results of the test as we have seen a big change but he is still at risk for aspirating food. They want to do another test in two weeks. I will keep my fingers crossed. He has also gained 15 pounds in 12 weeks
He is able to eat about 3000-3500 calories a day. That has also been a big change. I will keep you posted. Eileen
