Bananas!

Udi likes bananas....not too thrilled about carrots. Next we taste test peas!!

Sitting up ALL BY HIMSELF! Good job sweetie!

Spoon Feeding..

Judah is doing much better eating the rice cereal off a spoon...yay! In the beginning he would just sit there with his tongue hanging out so everything I put in would fall right back out..I would quickly scoop it up and put it back in..as it falls out again!! It became a vicious cycle.

More stitches have been falling out! There are also more that are having trouble dissolving. He looks better every day!

We are on a roll!

Judah ate 35 ounces Saturday and 34 yesterday...WOW!!! Good job babe! :) Thank you Jesus! He seems to be making up for lost time...and then some!
I was sick this weekend and my supply is pretty low so I started him on rice cereal (which mostly ended up on his bib...) because I can't keep up!
My house is a disaster, my dog needs a bath (and so do I..) and I need to get ready to make dinner. I just wanted to share the good news! God is good!
I know I have been posting a lot of pics of him sleeping..but that seems to be the only time I have right now, and it's not much! He is still waking up wanting those chubby fingers... :)

Today has been a good day...

Judah is doing so much better. All the medicine I have been cramming down his throat seems to finally be doing something....I just realized I am a little behind on my updates so here you go!....

We took Judah to the doctor Thursday (and got in a wreck but thats another story... don't worry we are all ok :) ) She said it is definitely acid reflux. She gave us some more medication ( Prevacid and Bethanachol) and said we should see progress by Monday. Well Monday rolls around and Judah is still screaming in pain. So, I called and the doctor told me to give it a week. He woke up yesterday morning with an appetite! The pain did come back a little by the evening but not near as bad.

Dr. T took a look at the pictures and is real impressed with Judah's progress but agrees that he still has a little more to go in the Latham. He wants to see Judah next week (Im not exactly sure why?) I hope he decides it's time to take it out. It has been 4 weeks now! Seems like forever.

I heard on 89.3 (christian radio station) an interview with a couple that has lost a baby, they also have a blog. I thought I would share it with you. She is an amazing writer and has blessed me greatly with her words. I wish I had her talent!

Frustration!

Judah went back to the dentist yesterday and she thinks he should have the Latham in a few more weeks...Mom's getting a second opinion! She took some pictures to send to Dr. T (the surgeon) let's see what he says! I really think Judah is ready to get the thing out but I'm no doctor..
The Colic Calm came in yesterday it's a little scary...looks like black ink. Anyway, I really don't think it is helping. I have only given it to him 3 times though hopefully I just have not seen the results yet. I feel like I am going to have a break down if this doesn't get better soon! He eats 1 or 2 ounces and then cries when I put the bottle in his mouth. I am going to give it this weekend with the colic calm (I have also started giving him Ranitidine again) if it's not better by Monday I'm going to take him to the doctor. I am just so afraid she is going to put him through more torture with a series of tests.

Jesus, I pray you would touch Judah. Heal and comfort him. Take away any pain he is feeling. In Jesus name, I put him in your hands. You are the best doctor there is!
