Eating!!

We have been very busy at our house these last couple of weeks, a lot has changed!! The best news is that Kade is eating!! He is really into finger foods and wants to do it all himself. We still give him formula via the feeding tube to make sure that he meets his nutritional needs.
The last time I posted, Kade had just had another swallow study. The days following that he was vomiting 3-4 times a day. We treated it as a virus, running Pedilyte continuously for most of the weekend. Then on Sunday night we offered him some banana and he started to put it in his mouth and swallow. He didn't gag at all! We were so excited we ended up giving him the whole thing! He has been eating ever since!!
Today is Kade's first day back to daycare and my 2nd day back to work. I have only called daycare twice so far :-) When I spoke to the teacher after lunch, she said that he had fun when they went outside and he ate a good lunch, both a big relief for me! We will continue to go to Madonna for therapy 3 days a week for now, so we are easing back into work and daycare slowly on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Thank you to all of you for your continued thoughts, prayers and support.
