She continues to learn to feed with the help of the lactaction team and will be learning how to take a bottle from an on-staff occupational therapist beginning Thursday. The nurses will then offer her a bottle if I am away for a feeding and then deduct the amount she takes from her gavage (tube) feeding. That's what we're doing with nursing, too. It should take a few weeks to get a hang of big girl eating before the feeding tube is removed.
On another note, Peyton had a great Halloween as a dalmatian. We attended his school Halloween parade and took him trick or treating in our neighborhood that evening. He had so much fun that he asked to go to "one more house, please" when we looped back around to our house to end the festivities. So of course, I couldn't turn down his polite requeset. Too cute!
