Day Twenty Seven

Today was good! Daniel did well in all of his feedings. He took in a total of 24.3 ounces today. He is doing better with "big" bites of food and with his drinking. I met with the dietician today and got everything settled with his food. We are no longer just going to give him 1 food at a time. He will now get a protein (meat), vegetable and either a starch or a fruit all mixed together. As I said before, this will help him when he may not tolerate a certain food. If there is 1 food that he has a problem with, when introduced, the combination of foods may combat any bad side effects from that 1 food. They are all on board with this and we will start this tomorrow.

Also, I sat in on the meals today to observe. As of tomorrow, they will teach me how to place the spoon and the protocol in which I will have to follow while feeding him at night and on weekends. I'm looking forward to starting to feed Daniel and hope that all goes well. I think we may have a rough patch in the beginning because he's not familiar with me feeding him but once he trusts that I'm doing it the same as them, he will be fine and it may work better for him.

I talked to Abi tonight and she is doing great. She has adjusted well to all of this and her and daddy are doing just fine without me. I'm so glad that things are going well at home so I don't have to worry about that aspect.

I'm off to bed for tonight. Hoping that all of you are doing well.
