This week, Braden has been doing so great with his bottle feeds that we planned to ask our pediatrician to let us progress a bit more on the feeding front. The morning of our appointment Braden decided to remove his own feeding tube (again!) and that kind of cinched the deal. I (Jenni) wasn't dying to replace the tube and since our doctor is so great at working with us and our comfort level with Braden's progress, he agreed to let Braden have had only bottle feedings (no continuous feed tube feedings). Braden has been doing this for two days. It is incredible to see our little man with no "lines" for the first time in over 2 months! He has been doing great with the bottle and has really gotten the hang of it again. We are still wanting to see more weight gain but that seems to be slow in coming. Still, Braden's breathing is looking good (no laboring), his food is staying down, and he is in all visible respects doing extremely well.
We will write again after our pacemaker clinic at Children's later this week. Keep praying for that pacemaker miracle. Thanks!

Yay! Way to go Braden. You start setting the rules around that house - let them know who's BOSS.
That's great! Don't give up on the brink of a miracle!
Wireless is awesome! Can't imagine having 'attachments' to your baby for so long. Always concerned about where the tubing is, are you going to step on it, trip over it, pull it and hurt him, etc. That must be so nice!
