Dad's a pro at this feeding stuff!!


Because Kate has been doing so well with her bottle feeding, we were so encouraged that we were going to be able continue feeding Kate and drop the NJ tube. However, I called the pediatrician on Monday to talk about her feeding and what to do next and the doctor was a little concerned about her eating that high of volume. Basically, she is using up so much energy while eating that it's putting stress on her heart. So, he would like us to keep her on the feeding tube for the majority of the day with occasional bottle feeding....Booo!!! This is definitely teaching us patience :)
Kate took her first trip to the car wash on Friday. As we drove through, she just stared at the water and bubbles. She loved it......she takes after her Dad!!
On Tuesday, Kate has her appointment with the Cardiologist. I think that we will talk about scheduling her heart surgery. Also, she was approved through our insurance for the RSV shot. She is eligible starting December 15th. Kate has a lot going on the next couple of weeks. Uncle Jordan's mission farewell is the same weekend Kate will have her prosthetic procedure. We're hoping she will have an easy recovery and be able to make it down to Fillmore.
