A bunch of firsts today! Parker officially no longer has a PICC line! They removed it today. He is up to full continuous feeds on his g tube and he also ate food by mouth for the first time today. He ate real banana and he loved it! He even took the pieces out of my hands and put it in his own mouth. That is huge. Today is also his first since surgery he has not had any pain meds including ibuprofen. We have a date to go home on Thursday or Friday.
