Progress...Slowly but Surely


Blake is continuing to do great at home. He's being a normal baby which means most of his days are spent eating, sleeping, and pooping. We are continuing to increase the volume of his feedings because he's not putting on as much weight as quickly as we would like. Because all his feedings are thickened (so he doesn't aspirate them) it takes a lot of energy for him to eat, and therefore he is burning a lot of calories, so even increasing volume means he's working harder at every feeding; it's a vicious cycle. But, he's powering through and we know we'll get there. We could all do without the midnight, 3, and 6 AM feedings, but we sure are happy to be doing them at home! His heart is still doing great, and his sonograms have looked good. Mason loves having him around, and has been really good about not being jealous. We're going through the normal trials and tribulations of having a newborn and a (almost) 2-year-old, but they are certainly welcome in the grand scheme of things.
