Feeding Frenzy!

Wow! Just had a great great appointment at the lactation clinic today! We've been trying so hard to get Cassidy to transfer more while nursing, and this last week she has really been showing a preference for nursing. She has been sputtering every time we tried to give her a bottle. And we usually offer her a bottle after every time she nurses just to make sure she is getting plenty. It is just a pain to do, and she was really upset with us when we would try to give her the bottle. So, today, we did a before and after weight check, and she transferred 66mls!! Her goal for a feed is 50-60mls!! That is a full feed plus some extra! Wow! I am just praising God that she is doing so well. I recognize full well just how fortunate we are that she is nursing at all. So many other Truncus babies that I have read about have g-tubes and have so many DiGeorge babies have such trouble feeding. I am so VERY thankful that we are doing so amazingly well with her feeding on her own. I am thankful that her cardiologis

ts and pediatrician are willing to let her work on feeding on her own. I am just so so so so so so thankful and happy right now to hear that she is transferring a full feed on her own. Thank you all for your prayers! God is good.

We are also planning to see some specialists this month. The ENT will be at the end of the month, and immunology will also be sometime this month. We also had our conference with OT/PT/Speech, and they reccommended OT services, so we will be setting that up soon.

May is just going to be a crazy month!

Ack, well, Cassidy is crying, so I am going to post this even though I am sure I have more to say and I haven't edited to see if this post makes any sense! But if I don't post it now, it may languish on my computer for days!

Thanks for all your continued prayers!
