Grant is catching on to our new sleep plan....kind of. Last night he slept from 9-3am straight! But, then at 3am he thought his day was supposed to start and has been wide eyed ever since! Doesn't this kid need sleep?!
One amazing thing that happened is that at 3am Grant took his bottle awake! He has not done this in months. It was very exciting. Please pray that he is healed and will continue to eat while awake.
Another thing we'd love your prayers for is eating solids. Grant is happily opening his mouth when the food comes near him, which is a great sign, but doesn't have a great suck/swallow because most of the time that he's swallowing food he's asleep (and it's reflexive). Our OT keeps saying, "It's not too bad," but he needs to learn some tongue control. He actually prefers to hold the spoon and feed himself- which consists of sometimes making to his mouth and other times hitting himself in the nose. It's not the most efficient way of eating, but it makes for some great pictures. (To be posted soon.)
