Ashley Drury Swenson And sorry that every happy post seems to be followed by a hard one. 'Tis the name of the game. Take 2 steps forward and one step back, and you've made a little progress. I love that the OT said "look back 2 weeks ago." He has made so much progress!!!
Ashley Drury Swenson They left it out today. They are doing IV fluid overnight to keep him hydrated. He is supposed to eat essentially 7-8 baby food containers a day, but they are much more concerned about hydration. As long as he keeps down his dinner, he has eaten 5 and kept down 4. My goal was 3. They just gave him a bunch of meds, though, but positive thoughts, right?

Malisa Dalpias Twelves Don't feel sorry for posting the hard times with the good... It helps us find strength to overcome our own challenges.
Lyric McKinlay Poulson Praying constantly for him and you guys! LOVE that he's taking 2 steps forward. Better than 1 forward, 1 back.
Jennifer Bradley Janda Love that he's eating, heck...you can purée anything! Maybe they need to switch his formula, which one is he on? Is he eating enough now PO so they could leave the NG tube out, that would be awesome since he's happier without it anyway:-) Praying and sending love! Can't wait for the post about him starting to talk again!!! I know it will come:-)
Ken A. Becker You know sometimes I wonder if he is going to go at his pace and knows you and Darrell are going to be right there to keep up with him! Thanks for the update.
Tina Winkel Mortensen I love you posts and look for them everyday! I admire you so much and love seeing little Parker!
Tami Aldama I am so sorry. It is so sad seeing a baby vomit and so violently.
Tami Aldama I hope things start looking up soon. I can't believe it's already been 4 weeks!
Annette Swenson I agree with Tami when she says that it is hard to see a child violently vomit. Darrell and I see huge strides since we were there with you. One of our goals was to get all of his tubes out. You are an amazing mother. I am brought to tears watching your dedication and strength. Parker is getting better everyday.
