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!
