update

Well today is going a little better so far. Carsten threw up at breakfast which was expected, then he was able to keep 7 ounces down at lunch. Now we'll see how dinner goes. I'm trying not to get so caught up in every individual session and see the bigger picture and where he'll be in 5 more weeks. They're giving him drinks from a bigger spoon now to try and get more liquid in and still alternating with the cup. It was so cute today at lunch when he was done she said and signed "all done". Oh boy his face lit up so fast and he was signing "all done" like a professional signer:) I think his favorite so far is pureed pizza, yuck! Poor kid. At least he doesn't know what the real thing tastes like.

My roomate just left to go back home to San Diego:( Yep they come from all over here. I'm pretty sad actually, feels like I just lost a college roomate or something. She was happy with her sweet girl's progress. She was almost exactly the same size as Carsten so they had fun together. Maybe someday we'll meet again ordering happy meals together for our kids:)

That only leaves 2 other people here and us in the feeding program. Our discharge date is still set for Nov 9th so that leaves 5 weeks to go after this week. Chad's coming up to visit next weekend right at our halfway mark, yippee! We went on an outing last night to a park, a cupcake shop, and stopped and got takeout from this amazing Mediterranean restaurant. We were all laughing, the feeding kids going to a cupcake shop (it was really for the pregnant ladies in the group)! Carsten did eat a little of the hummus I got and I think he liked it okay. Hoping to take a TLOA this weekend and get out again with Carsten.

That's it for now.

Kari, I'm so proud of YOU! You are a trooper to walk Carsten through all this and I love how you are trying to keep perspective through it all. Press on, sista!
