Reporting for daddy on the blog to all of our friends and family......Reese had a good first feeding on Thursday morning. John was extremely excited to share this positive news. He stayed at the clinic and talked to many of the staff regarding Reese's progress. Reese cries allot during her feeding sessions which sometimes ends in vomiting. We are working through dealing with Reese being very upset during these sessions. This is very discouring to us while we know this may prevent her from progressing to the next step at this point. Going into this process we often thought to ourselves, Reese is young and we may have an advantage. We are seeing now that age has it's disadvatages with feeding issues. We keep telling ourselves that someday our daughter will eat. The not knowing when that day will come is the most upsetting part. We will together do everything our daughter needs to get her to feed orally. We are determined and will never give up!
We will work through this difficult time......

Day #23....Happy Halloween
Today was Halloween and there was going to be costumes, parades and trick or treating for all of the children at the clinic. Feeding comes first for all of these children. Reese continues down the same path she has been for the past few days. The first feeding session seemed to go OK. The second feeding session a little more crying, by the third and fourth she was upset more times then not. I had the opportunity to do all four sessions with her today. This usually does not happen on Wednesdays. This day was different because I will be going home for a few days and daddy will take over. A change our entire family needed....
Aside from feeding the staff at St Josephs did a terrific job making our stay at the clinic during Halloween a memorable one. They dressed all the children and paraded them throughout the clinic. Trick or Treat bags and pumpkins were made for each child. The little things mean so much!
After a full day at the clinic Reese(Lil'Lamb) and mommy headed for home to trick or treat with big brothers Nicholas & Mason. It was great to be home!
Happy Halloween to all of our family and friends!!!!
