Milk mustache

Do you hear the trumpets announcing????Alex passed his swallow study today. It was darling to see him strapped into an upright chair and acutally watch the fluids go down. He had a white mustache after the study.... He is also doing well on good ol' enfimil.... These are huge steps to him getting better. He is tolorating his feed of formula and I actually placed his ng tube today. It was really scary but I managed to do it without totally ticking him off, It will also interest you to know that you can use KY gelly for a plethera of things....Like placing the NG. We are making leaps and bounds this go around and the dr.'s are impressed. I finally feel like we have a little happy baby instead of a sick little boy. We aren't quite sure of the time frame for home yet... But soon... Brynn

I thought I heard something today, it must have been the trumpets for sure. We are excited, the benchmarks that we take for granted in our healthy heart kids become so important for these special heart kids. Way to go Alex!! Also to hear that he is tolerating regular Enfamil is awesome, the other sound I heard was probably from your pocketbook shouting for joy that he may not need the $28 a can Pregestimil. Maybe Alex can call Bryson and tell him that the regualr stuff is just fine :-) We check in every day and look forward to seeing you guys go home soon!!
