Well the day started off not so great because the upper GI got bumped to tomorrow. After that disappointing news, I started to prepare Brayden's bottle. Our wonderfully fantastic occupational therapist (did you like that Tessa?!) came over and we were talking and Chris was feeding Brayden. Andddddddd....HE FINISHED HIS WHOLE BOTTLE! We were shocked. If they would have let me throw a party right then and there in the NICU I would have.
So that was at 9am. At 11:30 I made his next bottle and we fed him and....he finished that WHOLE bottle too! And again and 3pm, 6pm and 9pm! He finished his 6pm bottle in 8 minutes! We are shocked and so, so happy! We won't be there for his 12am and 3am bottles but our favorite night nurse Shannon will be there to take care of him (which really makes it easier for me to sleep!).
Also, Chris and I got interviewed on the radio today! It was so neat! ACH is doing a pledge-a-thon and we were asked to do an interview on our experience at ACH. I was so excited to be able to share not only about what the doctors, nurses and other staff have done for us and for Brayden, but also to share about Brayden's testimony and let others see the power of God. After we were off the air the vj's thanked us for using our time to share about God and his awesome love. It was so, so cool.
So, tomorrow the GI test should take place. Please continue to pray that Brayden will take his full bottles so that we can come home! And a quick update on Baby B - he is off ECMO and seems to be responding well! Praise God!
