It was another great week for Brady and our family. Brady's new tube seems to be working very well. He has settled back into his normal routines and is a very happy baby.
On Tuesday the school district sent an Early Childhood Special Education director and an occupational therapist to our house. Ali answered their questions about Brady (his new tube, how his past week went, his behaviors, etc.). They are working on a care plan for Brady. The occupational therapist will come back in two weeks to start working with Brady.
On Wednesday a home care nurse from Children's Hospital came to our house. She took Brady's vitals and answered any questions that Ali had. She will also be back in two weeks to evaluate Brady.
Brady is now awake for long stretches during the day and continues to sleep through the night. He really enjoys talking to us. He is constantly smiling and now is starting to laugh a little. He also is getting very strong with holding up his head and body.
We've also noticed that his reflux has really improved. He hasn't had any major spit ups for several days and doesn't seem to arch in pain as much when he eats. He is now eating between 800 and 850 ml per day. He takes about half of that by bottle during the day and then we feed him the remainder at night.
Ali continues to do an amazing job of taking care of Brady and the rest of our family. Brady will have another checkup with his pediatrician on Wednesday and we'll learn more about his progress then.
With love,
Tyler, Ali, Ava, Casey and Brady
