It has been 5 weeks since Reese finished up the feeding clinic and things are going well at home. Days are long and and can be very trying at times with feeding being the main goal each day! Reese starts her oral feeding @ 8:30 am and most mornings are tough. Reese struggles to wake up and eat almost immediately as some if not most of us do ourselves. Timing is key for Reese and her schedule.....
This week we increased her bites to 22 bites per meal and most meals are successful! She is catching on that mommy might know a little more than she does. She impresses me most times but tests my patients too! John can attest to that statement! So for now she is accepting 22 bites and still taking approx 11 different foods such as pudding, yogurt, carrots, broccoli, sweet potatoes, etc and need I mention, she still DISLIKES the eggs!
Her weight seems to be increasing, not sure of her exact weight gain but looks very healthy!
Keep working hard Reese! We're with you every step of the way!
love,mommy, daddy, nicholas & mason
Reese is talking so much these days! She makes me laugh and forget how hard thing can be at times!

Hi Reese,
I want you to know just how very proud we are of you and all that you have accomplished in just a short period of time. That doesn't mean that you can give up now, OH NO! You must continue to keep up the great work you are doing and get big & strong. You are such a lucky little girl to have such loving parents and brothers to help you thru this eating process. Keep up the good work, we are praying for you always.
