Keep beleiving he can do it! My grandson was on the tummy feeding tube for months, little by little we tried introducing solids and liquids, and finally hit upon a few things that he really took to. He loved vanilla Pediasure, vanilla yogurt mixed with rice cereal, hot dogs skinned and cut up real small, cherrios and bananas! We convinced the Drs to remove the tube, they thought we were being premature but we were concerned as he was 14 months old and could not sit up or roll over because of the button coming out of his tummy. They finally removed it against their will and he thrived and even gained weight! He became active, rolling, sitting and walking within 3 months time. He eventually accepted other foods and is now 5 years old. He still has health problems but he is no longer tied to a feeding tube! Sometimes parents know what is best for their children and just have to go for it! YEA Dakin, keep up the good work!Darlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01185420489146260104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705266259949217597.post-34410932041494547932009-01-20T08:27:00.000-08:002009-01-20T08:27:00.000-08:00Hey Devon . . . it's Kjirsten!

Such a doll! When we left Longview, I don't think you guys had a diagnosis yet . . . I'm so glad you know what you're dealing with now. And we will certainly keep Dakin (and you and big Dakin) in our prayers. I know it's tough. Our thoughts are with you.kjirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03073901278084476715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705266259949217597.post-8027255255433743162009-01-20T07:34:00.000-08:002009-01-20T07:34:00.000-08:00Big boy Dakin!
