| Got MILK? |
I went in and held Joshua today at lunch and he was able to do a non-nutritive feed again, which basically is practice for the real thing! They don't just go straight to breast feeding because he hasn't ever had to swallow to get his food. He needs to learn to swallow in small doses so that he doesn't choke. It's a bit of a process getting him to full feeds. The good thing is we have started the process and he has done good with it the past two days. Hopefully he will keep it up!
Specifics to pray for:
That his incline position will help him to oxygenate well.
He continues to do well with non-nutritive feeds. The longer he can feed without getting worn out or having episodes, the better.
Wisdom and blessing for the NICU staff.
That God will show us stuff we can do to help other families that are and will be in our same situation.
