It's so crazy for us to think that we had surgery scheduled to have a more permanent feeding tube (a G-tube) placed into his stomach on September 9 and just 2 months later, here we are -- kicking the pump, the IV pole, the tubes, the feeding bags, the tegaderm tape, and the syringes to the curb. I'm so proud of Baby C for accomplishing this and so thankful to his team of therapists and Doctors who hung in there while we kept pushing back the surgery date b/c we "just knew" he could do it.
And speaking of 2 months. Do you remember this post? For a quick refresher--we had a very nice stranger tell us on Sept. 10 that Baby C would be eating in 2 months. At the time, I was skeptical because we'd been battling with his feeding issues for almost a year, but we didn't give up. And she was right! We will be paying her a visit very soon.
In true fashion, we threw a going away party for the feeding pump. Here are some pictures from our party! As you can see in the last photo, Baby C is THRILLED to be D.O.N.E. with that ol' tube and pump.

Carter's laughter (that you can almost "hear" by looking at the last picture in this post) says it all. Once again, Kellie and Brad, I am so impressed, so amazed, so overcome with joy, and so much more of a believer in the faith, love, and hope, that God gives us as human beings the capability of to experience. It truly defines the following verse: Isaiah 26:3
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
And WHO knows a 1 year old who has a Hard Rock Cafe T-shirt? How cool is that?
Lots of love!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! That has got to feel good. You guys have worked hard with getting him to be a good eater and boy did it pay off. So glad he enjoys the good things in life you know. I love the good bye party too. Super cute. Miss you little Carter and hope to see you soon!
