All is well. The Doctor had a nice chat with the insurance. It was more they just wanted to talk to the doctor and see his projected treatment goals and date. We are approved for the next 3 weeks which we were aiming for. It is still up in the air whether or he will get a g tube. They are going to taking him off iv fluids over the weekend and see if he'll drink more. He has been meeting his caloric needs which is awesome. Continue to pray that he will drink more and use his right side. He started weight bearing now on his right and he will hold toys in his right hand which is awesome. He just needs to move it more. He continues to head in the right direction.

    Kristen Ellsworth Kingsford He's doing great! Super-boy!

    Rachel Remund Kunz It is so amazing to see where he was and how far he has come! I'm sure we're only getting a glimpse of it. What an amazing little boy and an amazing mama you are

    Tami Aldama In your daily updates, it seems like he is progressing rapidly! What a sweet boy! We will continue to pray for his recovery and ongoing miracles! Love you guys!

    Michelle Cadman I'm so happy to hear that! I'll pray he continues to improve!

    Amy Ward Good news! Just out of curiosity, have you tried bottle feeding Parker? When I weaned Jack, he was still waking up at night and asking to eat so we decided to give him a bottle before bed. He drinks a FULL one and stopped waking up at night (mostly). He also has a smaller bottle in the morning, too. During the day, we just do cups but I think he just wasn't ready to give up that last, baby comfort....

    Ashley Drury Swenson We might try that. I know OT doesn't want to back track any more than we have to, but if he will drink, it is worth it. The main problem is he has stopped sucking. I wonder if at first it was a like newborn reflex. Ironically he drinks or of a cup best, next a tiny straw. He just chews on sippy cups...

    Nicole Dial Anderson Like a true fighter! Prayers and hugs as always!
