Noah now weighs about 11 lbs 5 oz. He gained weight!! And Allison was SO surprised that she even gave me a High Five! We are going to try and adjust some meds so they are easier for him to take and she even said that if he were to lose next week, we could still stay tube free for now. Since it might take some time for his body to self adjust. But he is doing super!
I did tell her that once we do the swallow study, if it shows he is aspirating, that I want to know WHY. Because there are two things that are NOT an option. One.... No more NG tube. EVER! And Two.... I don't want Stopping Feeds to be a treatment. If he is aspirating then we need to know why and we need to fix it. If the nerve by his vocal cords was damaged during transplant, then we need to know what we can do to fix it. If we have to... we can do a G-Tube because Breathing is more Important than Eating (by mouth). But that needs to be a last option. He's doing SO well that I DON't want to take that from him.
Much Love,
