Last Thursday night was Grace's last night time tube feeding! It happened on accident because our medical supply company shorted us on this past months feeding bags. At first I was frustrated, thinking how is she going to get the food she needs until the new shipment shows up on Monday??? Well this was Grace's chance to Sink or Swim and WOW is she ever swimming!! She has been eating like a champ since Friday! I called her doctor and we both agreed, why make her go backwards if she's doing so well. Grace is eating 3 meals a day and a snack before bed. Liquids are still a challenge for her, so I am still giving her some H2O during the day through her tube to help keep her hydrated, but overall she is drinking much better as well. This is the moment Sam and I have been waiting for since the day she had her surgery to get the feeding tube (4 weeks old). We are so proud of our little girl!! So now to make sure she is getting enough without the tube feedings, I will be taking her to the doctor every week for a weight check, so please keep your fingers crossed for her on next Tuesday when she goes for the first weight check since she has started eating totally on her own!
Also, on another VERY exciting note.....Alex flipped over for the first time on Saturday night! I don't have a picture of it though because he caught me by surprise. But I will have my camera in hand for next time!
