YAAAAYYYYY!!!! Gidion has gained another 10g!!! It must be mommy's strong special Rooibostea formula: Rooibostea + condensed milk + sugar + Similac + Maltodextrin + evaporated milk (who would guess mommy's a dietician?!). Wow, I can’t explain the feeling of looking at Gidion opening his mouth (and sometimes real wide when he really wants something like the Rooibostea) and actually swallowing it. Prof is really satisfied with his progress, but she said that we should stick until the end of the program to make sure that he is able to sustain himself and also to make sure that he moves onto soft food. Yeah right, as if we were planning to leave the program in the middle of it. Gidion might become more and more confident by the day, but mom still needs a bit of support.
Gidion has also discovered Eisbein today! Instead of biting (real hard!!!) on our fingers, he found that he could bite the pieces of meat (no swallowing yet) and no one would scream in pain J AND then it tastes nice as well. His clothes are stained beyond repair – maybe we should frame it JJ
We would just like to thank everyone once again from the bottom of our hearts for all your support and comments. Reading the comments written all the way from South Africa brings tears to our eyes and gives us new hope and strength. Gidion is such a lucky, blessed child to have so many people caring and praying for him. Thank you xx
