Friday (7-17)

Kade is having another fantastic day!! He got another great nights sleep. We are so happy that he seems to have his days and nights straight. He played for most of the day so far with short nap this morning. The doctors have cut back again on his medications and is handling it so well. They have also increased the amount of formula he is getting in his tummy. Kade gets to work with PT twice a day on trying to drink from a bottle with the formula that has a honey consistency. He still prefers not the drink at all and pushes the bottle away. On the plus side he doesn't have any problems putting his pacifier in his mouth on the first try. His motor skills are really working well, and we thank God for all the great progress he is making. Hopefully soon his body will be able to tell him when the right time to swallow is and we can say goodbye to the feeding tube forever and get back to holding him in our arms and feeding him from a bottle.

The doctors also gave us great news today. Kade is doing so well now that he may be able to be dismissed from Children's Hospital by the end of next week. We have learned not to get our hopes up too fast on setting any time frames in our minds. However, at least hearing them talk about the possibility makes us so happy.
