Quick Update

So Mr. Man had his first bottle today and he did so so so very well... He drank about 10ccs, which was so great and amazing to watch. He was all smiles as everyone wonders why it is he doesn't have an oral aversion, I can only say thank you to the CHKD feeding team! He also ate some apple sauce and 1/8th of oz over 3 feeds which was just as fantastic as the bottle!

We also got some wonderful news that we will be home very soon. After Caleb's next dilation we will be released. We will have to stick around for a couple of days but we should be back at home sometime during the week of the 18th!

Caleb is doing awesome, though he is have some stranger anxiety, it is hard as he will not let anyone touch him or hold him, its a good thing I got to move in to his room at the hospital!

Our friend Gracen finally got his esophagus! YIPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEE Go Gracen! We are so very happy for his family, I thought we have been doing this for a long time but they have been doing this for almost 11 months. I hope they get to go home soon!

Always,

Ernestine and Caleb

    You all look great together! Taking that bottle is a big step and I can't wait to get my turn to feed him, love on him, babysit, etc. I know it may be awhile before I get to do these things, but I can wish! I know he will be stuck on Mommie doing everything, but that's the way it should be - Mommy should be first! Ernestine, I am proud of the way you have held up through all of the trials and the care you take of my grandson. See you all soon.
