Today started with a phone call from Nicholas and Mason, who I must say sounded very HAPPY! Nicholas had a play at school on Thursday which Reese and I missed. So this morning when they called me on the web cam, he was wearing the hat from the play(Johnny Apple Seed). This started my day with a smile:)These web cams are great! I thought for a moment great,both boys are happy and ready to start a new day.... This was going to be a great day! Well Reese had another agenda in mind. She wanted no parts of getting up today. The drive to the clinic went rather smooth, no vomiting(which she does most every morning). She had her first feeding at 9:30. This feeding was a dry spoon only. Reese accepted most bites, but continued to cry throughout the entire feeding. Her next feeding was 15 bites dry and 15 bites dipped, she only accepted a few bites of each. This seemed to be the pattern throughout the next feeding and by the final feeding she did not accept any of the dipped spoon.
Though this is not what I wanted to happen, I expected this to be the outcome. I continue to have hope that by the end of this week, Reese would be accepting the spoon with some food. She knows what she wants already and food is not it!
That sums up the day and I have to say this whole feeding thing is exhausting me. I can only image what Reese must be feeling. Please continue to keep Reese in your prayers.
Good night!

I don't think there is anything more peaceful than a sleeping baby. Looks like she had a rough day, maybe it was just a let down from all of the excitement from having her daddy and brothers around! Tomorrow is another day!
Love ya and miss ya lots....

Hi Reese & Trish,
I would be exhausted to if I played as hard as she did over the weekend with her Daddy & brothers. Maybe she was just tired and didn't feel like being bothered. Today is another day and maybe she will feel differently and surprise you and take all 15 bites with the dipped spoon. Trish I know how exhausting this is for you, but you have to stay strong and keep giving her the encouragement to go on. Keep your chin up and continue to stay the strong person you are. Better days are ahead. We pray for you everyday that God will give you the strength to help you continue to help Reese get well. Keep up the good work, better days are ahead. We love & miss you.
Love & Kisses,
Aunt Adele & Uncle Tony

Hi Girls,
That pic is soooo cute!!!! Trish Reese has leaped so many steps forward that one or two back are expected {just ask any girl on any diet} We pray very hard every nite that Reese's picture will go on the wall at the clinic someday for the most successful patient that has ever entered St, Josephs. I am excited to see the boys tommorrow! I think we will go to the park for awhile. Talk to u later, give girlfriend a big hug from us. Lov The Maddens
