One day at a time
posted on 11/08/2007
Well, Bennett continues to adjust to life at home. Grammie has been over this week helping Kelly out, so that's been a big help for us. Grana comes in from TN next week, so Bennett is getting some good time with both of his grandmothers.
His apnea clinic appointment on Tuesday went well, and we were reminded yet again just how grateful we should be that Bennett is alive and at home. The doctor told us that Bennett is truly a miracle, and should be celebrated as such! Also, the doctor noticed slight improvement in some of his tone (less stiffness in his hands in particular, and in his feet), so this was so encouraging to hear!
Bennett remains on several medications for his blood pressure and reflux, so no major changes have been made as of now. His feedings are still pretty inconsistent (he'll eat more on some days and less on others), so the feeding tube remains in at this point. Please pray that his daytime feedings increase more and more so that his feeding tube can finally be removed, and please pray that his reflux will go away!
Again, thank you all for your love, encouragement and prayers throughout all of this. God has been good to us and has brought our son home. His power and your prayers made that possible.
Love,
Travis, Kelly, and Bennett
