emerson has been OFF tube feeds for 5 whole days now! it seems to good to be true! she had an appointment on thursday and they suggested taking the next step, which is getting rid of her 2 night feeds and any daytime supplement feeds! now she just has a sippy cup with thickened milk as often as she wants... (goal of 150ml x 5 which would equal what her tube feeds were, however she only takes about 150ml x 3 on average)
let me tell you, it's SOOOO nice to not be washing the feed bag out 5x/day! and not bothering with doing anything regarding feeding her before i go to bed. it's nice! so different because the last year we have been tube feeding and now it's just... done!
i'm so happy at how far she has come! they won't take her g-tube out until she's been off tube feeds for at least 3 months, sometimes not until the spring... (after cold & flu season)
i can't believe she is almost 1! wow!
