Minor Update

As of 10/20/09:

His oral feedings continue to be difficult and it is not hopeful that it will improve. We are almost certain that he will have a G-Tube inserted by Dec (that's not just our opinion but the doctor's). However, the doctors are satisfied with his current rate of weight gain. He seems to be a little less fussy/pissed off these days. But only a little. His breathing did get noisier/worse in the last couple of weeks but seems to have stabilized/improved a bit in the last week or so - and this is pretty consistent with what Children's told us would happen. So barring anything unforseen happening, we're still tracking for surgeries around April/May.

The only really scary thing at the very present is the flu. We've all been vaccinated against the seasonal but we're all still waiting for the swine flu. The doctors all said that should he contract it, it's almost certain it will require him to be hospitalized. So we try to stay home as much as possible until we can all get the vaccine.
