What a wonderful week it's been. Kade is doing great and just keeps getting stronger. His therapists have been so happy to see how quickly he is gaining his motor skills back. One therapist even mentioned that Kade may break a recovery record if he keeps this up. He has figured out how to roll from his stomach to his back and to his stomach again. This week Kade also was able to get himself into the crawling position and crawl forward a few steps. They are so pleased that he may not have to go everyday, but just 3 times a week.
His stomach is getting stronger as well. Kade now only needs to have the feeding pump hooked up 4 times during the day to do bolus feedings of 6 oz at a time at a hour and a half each. He does need a continuous connection over the night, to get the rest of his daily dietary needs met. He has shown some small interest in taking very tiny tastes of pudding, but he is unable to swallow really anything yet. He usually ends up looking like he was in a food fight by the end of each meal. We are so thankful for the forward progress so far, and know that as he gets stronger and his body grows he will gain the ability the eat back.
Blessings to you and Thanks again for checking in on Kade.
So glad to hear that Kade is doing so well. Thank God!! Take care, we love you. Lee and Syl
