Our little man did amazingly well today. Bruce and I are still in shock about it actually. This morning we tried our best to give him some vanilla custard stage 2 purity just like the one he had at school yesterday. We tried at the table, were very firm about it and still he wouldn't open his mouth for it. So we gave him some water and sent him off to school in hope that Jeanette (his school teacher) worked her magic. Well Jeanette is an angel sent from God - she managed, don't ask me how to get Jason to eat two bottles of stage 2 purity. One at 10:00 (vanilla custard) and one at 11:30 (sweet potato and mealies). Unbelievable!! Just shows you how Jason will listen to Jeanette and not us. We try everything but it doesn't work. Hopefully in time with him getting use to solids at school he will eventually allow us to feed him. BUT for now it's onions at home LOL.
His milk went very well this afternoon as well. In total today he had 1555mls orally (615mls water, 250mls solids and 690mls paediasure). So we are very pleased with the progress we are making and SO happy that our little man is feeling well again. It's a HUGE relief for us. I was starting to get really worried that we would never get back to where we were with the drinking orally but look at us today, he is accepting a spoon!! First time EVER and first time that he has ever eaten like this in his life! AND his poos are even more solid looking - they actually are a little formed - amazing!!
All I can say is "Thank you God for sending Jeanette our way". Jeanette you are absolutely amazing and we love you very much. You treat our special little boy like your own and have made it your mission to help us to get Jason to eat. Your persistence is paying off and we cannot thank you enough! I know you aren't reading this because you are technologically challenged but THANK YOU anyway!
So tonight we go to bed with a smile on our faces :)
