As many of you know, our son Bridge was chronically ill as a baby and because of the illness he has not been willing/able to eat. We have been feeding him through a feeding port (Mic-key button) in his tummy for the last 3 years.
I am PLEASED to report that he began shoving food into his mouth a couple of days before Christmas and he hasn't stopped since! On New Year's day he ate a whole waffle from Waffle House (butter, syrup and all), a piece of pizza, 2 jars of meat baby food (gross!) and a hot dog!!!
Dr. White, his pediatrician, said we could lay off the tube feedings. We can take the Mic-key button out if he goes a year without a relapse.
I cannot begin to tell you how relieved we are. We have been trusting God with this ordeal for 3 years. God has been so faithful to guide us and comfort us. He has been as close as a whisper and as loud as thunder. He is so good.
I am glad we finally reached the end of this long road - but I am also glad that it was part of the journey.
