Dearest Mia,
You did not want to eat anything from a bottle today. The occupational therapist said it was because you weren't used to anything going down your throat. It has been three weeks since you ate from a bottle last. But you used to eat from a bottle 27 times a day, so daddy has no doubt you will do it again! Mommy tried formula, sugar water, and plain water. You didn't want any part of it. Today Mommy was taught how to put the NG (nasal gavage) tube down your nose, since that is how they are currently feeding you. They are threatening to send you home sometime next week. That will make mommy and daddy very happy, but we aren't holding our breath since the last time you were discharged from the hospital (december 20th, 2007), they gave us a whole three hours notice. On a funnier note, somebody asked me today when they are going to try to "suckle" you. Since I worked very hard to not use the word "suck" in yesterday's post, that made me laugh and laugh. I guess where they grew up, babies suckle a bottle.
PS. A doctor today said that your eyes were amazing and you must be the most beautiful baby in the whole hospital.
we love you all of it, Mom and Dad.
