Micah continues to progress very nicely. He had an appointment this week with his GI doctor and had a good report. Micah is now taking Neocate milk by mouth at 9am, 12pm, 3pm, 6pm, and 9pm. We just started feeding him by mouth with this schedule and so far he averages about 25mL per feeding. He is still receiving tube feeds via his nasal jejnum tube (which he had replaced this past Tuesday). Except his tube feeding times are from 6pm until 10am. This feeding schedule is supposed to stimulate his hunger drive and encourage him to eat more by mouth. We just love having him home and are excited that he is improving so nicely. Micah does still have a way to go before he is back to "normal." Josiah loves Micah at home and has been such a great big brother. And I just love having my family back home.
