Braden update
Well I have successfully gotten Braden to eat puree's without the assistance of a speech therapist. Who knows when I'll get their assistance. It takes so long to get set up. I am so thrilled to announce that Braden is eating twice daily. He eats a mixture of a vege w/chicken and has bananas for dessert. He averages a little over an ouce at each meal. Braden also had to go for his RSV shot today. So the Ped.s office weighed him and he is now over 18 lbs. AMAZING... I also had to feed Braden in the car. So I tried giving him bananas and he actually ate in the car after getting a shot. What a trooper. I am so thrilled with his progress and this huge leap forward.
