Mommy is slacking on keeping up with my blog! I am doing so good, nobody can believe how quickly I am growing! I am now officially 11 lbs 2 ozs!! I had a swallow study done not to long ago and it made it clear that I aspirate liquids, but not really thick solids. So mommy and daddy thicken my solids with rice cereal and I gobble it up. I still have to use my G-tube for the majority of my feedings but hopefully as I grow and gain strength I won't aspirate and we can work on continuous oral feeds!! Mommy is going on her first trip away from me next weekend(her and Tata are going on a spa vacation) and daddy gets to go fishing in northern Canada the week after that!! I have a MRI scheduled for Friday and my tests are being sent to a pediatric neurologist that specializes in Cerebellum Hypoplasia in Chicago. So as soon as we get any answers, we will keep everyone informed!! I am so alert and I make so much noise now! Thank you for following my progress!! xoxo

I'm 10 Pounds!!

I officially hit the 10 LB mark!!
Woo HOO! Mommy took me to Children's hospital again for some blood work and a chest x-ray and everything came back normal!! Yay, that means I don't have pneumonia anymore and my white blood cell count came back down to normal levels! We don't have a very busy May compared to the months past when it comes to doctors visits! I have to have an MRI on May 29th (they sedate me) and a swallow study on May 18th because as you can see I love to eat solids now!! My favorites are Sweet peas and especially peaches!!! The swallow study is being done just to make sure I am not aspirating, which Mommy and Daddy are pretty sure I am not! I also have started to make so many noises, I love to coo all night long when mommy and daddy try to sleep! Thanks for following my blog, xoxo
