Day 835 - James Eats a Bowl of Oatmeal! 🥣
Friday, April 14th, 2023
While James was exploring the house you can see in a few of the photos where he was trying so hard to go feet first over the barricades versus climbing over the thin cushion next to it. Even though we are not holding his feeding pump during the short time he's wearing his backpack we still have to watch him 24/7 and help him get the most out of the time he has. James even scooted up to Mom's legs and gave her a hug. 🤗
As mom tried to cook in the kitchen James was distracted in his high chair playing with syringes. These were just slip tips syringes that we used to give his medicine not luer locks with needle tips. 🤦🏻♀️
🥣 James tried some Gerber Grain and Grow Oatmeal. It comes in a powder form and you can make it as then or thick as you want depending on how much water you add. This is great to try a transition James from purees to more solid foods. We started off with the oatmeal just a tad thicker than a puree. Mom added maple syrup to give it flavoring. One of our therapists suggested that we actually try the food before we give it to him to see if it tastes good. Sometimes we have not done this and it would explain why James also is not interested. This time James loved the oatmeal. He ate the entire bowl! Unfortunately though it all came out into his Farrell bag because it would not stay in the stomach. This is super frustrating! James also tried pieces of tangerine. 🍊
After his bath we were running late so Mom needed help with her injections before we could do James' trach care. So we gave James a blanket so he wouldn't get cold and had him lie down in the bed. He was ready to go to sleep! Definitely got into position for a newborn photoshoot! 😂
Oh yes and Mom tested again today. It was the last one. Photo below. Now we just wait till Monday!
