Great week and a button
posted on 02/19/2009
Bennett has had a great, healthy week. He has been sleeping well, is happy when awake, and has been eating his baby food via spoon very well~ lots of praises! We are all so thankful to be unpacked and are slowly getting into some form of routine around here.
We did have a surprising appointment today. We went to the pediatric surgeon at Vanderbilt to have him look at Bennett's PEG feeding tube and decide when to replace it with a button g-tube. We walked in there, he took a look at it and said "I think I can pull it out and just put a button right in"......Bennett's mommy surprisingly asked "today?!?!".......and he answered "yes, let's give it a try" as he was putting on his gloves and getting his supplies ready. Although B's mommy almost fainted right there at the thought, she gathered herself together, sang "Jesus loves me" over and over in his ear while the surgeon and his nurse did the procedure, and comforted B during his 5 minutes of wailing afterwards. Thankfully he pulled himself together quite quickly and hasn't seemed to notice a difference all day. Once again, NEVER A DULL MOMENT.
Bennett has visited some friends, went for a long walk around a local lake, and even went to church on Sunday, so it has been a good week and we thank God for that.
