It is hard to believe that Aiden is already eight months old! He is still doing very good since his surgery. We went back Thursday (3/24) for another follow-up with the surgeon and he is gaining weight!!! He is finally above 10 lbs...weighing in at 10 lbs. 7oz. He has been able to get off all his reflux medication except for one (Prevacid) and the dose of it has been decreased by half! He is still taking his bottles pretty well, although we do have to give some of his feedings through the feeding tube. We have also starting back giving him cereal and some baby foods, but he is still not all that interested yet. He recently said his first word which was "Momma!" I was so excited!! =) He has also learned to wave bye-bye. The surgery caused him to lose some of his muscle strength so he is still trying to learn to sit up on his own, but he is getting close. We do alot of floor exercise to work on getting his muscle strength back.
We would once again like to thank all of our wonderful family and friends for the prayers for our precious boy during the past month. Although another surgery was not something we wanted Aiden to have to go through, it seems to have been the answer to his reflux problems. We thank God everyday for his awesome power and ability to heal our little boy. Just as HE promises God has been with us every step of the way!!
