Great Results

Just a quick update. Levi had his eye exam first thing this morning and he doesnt need to be seen for 3 weeks. They said his eyes look great and have healed fine. His swallow study was a sucess. They said that it was ten times better than the one just two weeks ago. He was actually able to drink thin liquid from a slow flow nipple. This is a huge improvement from needing all of his milk thickend. So now he can be progressed more quickly. He will allowed to take 5cc more per feeding each day or two untill he takes the full amount. To give you an idea he is at 35cc by bottle every three hour feeding. He needs to take about 60cc per feeding which is two ounces. We think he will be able to pull this off. He gets mad at us when his current bottle empties out. Please keep praying for his progression. We have checked off many of the items on our discharge checklist. Tonight we learned infant CPR. Thanks again and again for your prayers.

Trent, Anjie & Levi
