Just a quick update:
Edison is doing great! He is really getting stronger and every day he seems more "sturdy". He is also just so bright-eyed, alert, and funny. We are really having fun. He has a tendency to get little giggle fits which are just the cutest thing. He gets so tickled he just can't stop laughing.
Unfortunately his retching episodes have increased a little. We are working with the swallowing center to try and adjust his feeding schedule and it is a process of trial and error to find what he can tolerate. I also spoke to our surgeon the other day and he only wants to see Edison every 6 months!!! Wow! He has been going monthly since we left the NICU.
Last but not least, he had bananas today! He seemed to enjoy those a little more than the apples. He ate about 2 teaspoons worth. This is really going to be a slow process but like everything else, we'll get there!

Wow!!! So the little man is eating apple sauce and bannanas and the entire world has not stopped to celebrate. Well, it should... because this is huge news. Keep it up little guy. Can't wait to introduce you to your first pizza.
Love all,
