Today was like most days, getting our day started and driving to the clinic went well. We are seeing less and less vomiting from Reese, which indicates the new medicine(prevacid) seems to be working for her. Getting her reflux under control is a definite plus!
This week the doctors are working on desensitizing Reese's gage reflux. By doing this the feeder will try to get the spoon further back into her mouth and applying a little tongue pressure. After repeatedly doing this, it should hopefully help reduce the amount of times Reese gages. Before food can be introduced, Reese will need to handle the spoon and tongue pressure without gaging. I am not told when this will happen, but I pray often and think maybe today is the day.
This waiting period seems like forever. Many of us have experienced a time in our lives when we needed to wait for something or someone. Remembering each second that passed, we thought to ourselves, how could we possibly handle waiting any longer. Somehow we get through it. I do believe after this long journey, we all will be better from this experience, especially Reese!!!
Hang in there sweetie! We love you!

Hi Reese & Trush,
After seeing how well Reese did with the spoon over the weekend I am sure she will do just fine with this new feeding method. You are a strong little angel and you will overcome anything that is put in front of you. It may take a little while to do, but you will succeed. You are always in our thoughts and prayers. Keep up the good work.
Love & Kisses,
Aunt Adele & Uncle Tony

Tom Petty wrote a song called "The Waiting is the Hardest Part". It certainly is the truth. I waited 53 days for my miracle to happen. Yours is coming. Always in my thoughts,

Trish,
Thank you so much for the words you posted about waiting, just know that as your family is going through this trial, your words, like those posted above are helping others, especially me during this time.
Thank you!
