We went to Jackson today for a big GI appointment. We are excited to say that it has been about six months since having to use Aiden's peg tube. He continues to grow and is charting at about the 10th percentile on the growth chart for his age. He weighs 34.6 lbs and is 43.5 inches tall. We saw the nurse practitioner today and she feels that Aiden is ready to have his tube removed. He continues to show growth without the need for tube feedings. The NP will be sending the notes to Dr. Shannon for her to decide if she will be the one to remove it or the surgeon at UMC. We are so excited. Aiden is so happy and proud! He enjoyed a special ice cream treat today for such good news. We have worked really hard to get to this point with his eating. We are so thankful to God for each step he has carried us along this journey with Aiden. We appreciate each and every prayer for Aiden since his birth. We also want to give special thanks to Melissa at Kids spot. We never could have gotten Aiden to eat and weaned off the tube without your outstanding therapy!! We can never thank you enough!!
Love and God Bless,
The Clemmons family
