Thursday Night
Good evening (now close to morning),
Braden has had a great night so far. He did great with all of his feeds today. He even sucked his 10pm bottle bone dry (first time). He's been really close to finishing many of his bottles, but this was the first time he didn't have a drop left....yeah...we are so proud of him! I know for many of you, it's hard to imagine how a baby would have difficulty eating. It's been amazing for us just to watch the progress he's made from where he started 2 weeks ago. He's had to completely learn how to coordinate sucking, swallowing, and breathing....the natural instict he lost being intubated and unable to eat for so long. This re-learning process would tucker him out so quickly...it's equivalent to us working out for a couple of hours (8 times a day). Although he still struggles at times, it has become more natural for him to coordinate all of the motions when he eats now. Oh happy days!
Good night,
Steph
