Here is the homework that the Developmental Therapist gave mommy and daddy...
You can view it better if you pull it up on snapfish (http://www2.snapfish.com/comcast/thumbnailshare/AlbumID=2405406016/a=2117318021_4884556/) or save the pic to your computer. As a heads-up, the pic of Will's sign showing his weight was actually wrong. It has since been fixed to show the proper weight, so please don't get confused when you see his weight is under 6 lbs on the sign. Will had a great mommy feed tonight...he had at least half of his full feed...great improvement. They tried giving him a bottle today and that was pretty successful too. It was mixed heavily with rice to make it nice and thick...he ate it up; however, he ended up eating more from mommy so the occupational therapist thinks he may just be one of those drinking-from-the-source type babies. He was in great spirits today and was awake for about the longest amount of time mommy has yet to witness.
Tenley keeps pulling her feeding tube out...its not really pulling as much as working her tongue around it and having it gently ease out little by little. Although this gives her something to do, she still needs to have her feeding tube in, much to her disdain. When the nurse puts it back in, she turns purple from screaming so loud. It's not painful...she just doesn't want the tube in anymore. Maybe that will give her incentive to bottle/mommy feed! Her rash was still pretty bad on her bottom today so she had some more "air out" time. Aunt Rachel bought her a big 'ol bottle of Butt Paste and is coming to put this diaper rash to an end on Friday.
