Day 109

Had a good sleep over with Parker. He did really well waking up on his own and taking most of his bottles. Then the morning came and it was a fight to feed him. All day long he wouldn't take his full feed. Very frustrating. I don't know if it's because of the thickness of the formula makes it harder for him to suck, or if it's the rice that makes him fuller. So he had his NG tube placed back and we gavaged whatever he couldn't eat. I feel like we're running out of ideas for this kid. We had a pow wow with his doctor. We talked about the possibility of a G tube for his feedings if he continues to not drink all his milk. John and I already have discussed the possibility of a G tube, and we're fine with it. After discussing our feelings and thoughts with Parker's doctor we decided to set a deadline. We have given him a week. If he does not show progression then we will plan for a G tube. Mr Parker better show us what he's made of. Whatever happens we ate still proud of how well he has done and how much he has overcome!
