A HUGE praise!!!

Towards the end of March we headed to Virginia for a feeding clinic with Kaleb. We were scheduled to be there 2 weeks, but Kaleb did so well we got to leave early! I'm more than happy to report that Kaleb is doing awesome!!! He has not had any tube feedings (or his high calorie drink) in 4 weeks...and his weight has remained stable. This is a HUGE milestone for us and an answered prayer to say the least. As long as Kaleb keeps up his eating for 2 more months we can get the G-tube out...yea!!!

Here are a few pics of our free room just down the hill from the clinic. It was actually pretty nice with a full kitchen and a washer/dryer just down the hall. It definitely made our whole trip a lot easier than a hotel.



On the weekend Keith and Kassidy came for a visit. It was great to get out of the room/clinic and enjoy some family time:) We went to this cool place called Bounce 'n Play...we have got to get one in Greenville!!! There's so much to do...to name a few there is a coloring room where you can use marker on a mural on the wall or a cardboard house, a painting shower, a gated off baby/toddler area, treadmill and elliptical machine, tvs, sofas, inflatables, slides, coi pond, etc.







Then we headed to the downtown mall area. It was chilly outside this day, but I bet in the summer this place is jam packed!









Just across the street was a memorial to Robert E. Lee. I would love to go back sometime and just visit all the memorials/statues from the Civil War.

We are very glad to be home and ecstatic about our eating champ:) We would like to thank everyone for their continued support, love, and prayers for Kaleb. God has been very faithful to us and we pray he continues to be faithful and fill Kaleb with the desire to eat! It's been very fun watching Kaleb lately. He actually wants to eat and enjoys eating. There have even been a few times he has eaten more than his big sis, which has never happened before!


We always used to joke around saying that Kaleb would be an excellent food critic or the winner of Survivor because of his lack of eating. We may not be able to say that anymore:)
