Food Filled Friday

I'm sure you can guess from the title-they are letting Kayden eat real food today! He was so miserable this morning; didn't even want to get up to sit in my lap. One of the nurse practitioners who has been working with the surgical team came in this morning and gave me the good news. When she left, I asked Kayden if he wanted a snack (he has been asking for snacks for 2 weeks) and his face lite right up! He sat up, asked to get on my lap, and ate some very yummy fishies! Then he ate some apple sauce, a little bit of cheese omelet, half of a mini muffin, some more fishies, and some milk. I was trying to slow him down so he could keep it down, but he did not want to stop! After he decided he was done, I started to put the tray in the hall but he said, "NO, MOMMY!" I think he was afraid he wouldn't get any more food for 2 weeks and did not want to lose what he had gotten! Sweet little boy. Lunch did come, and he ate a chicken nugget and a few tator tots and had a little more milk (don't know why they only feed you constipating food at the hospital). So far he has held everything down which is awesome, now we just need to know that it will work is way down the bowels with no problem!
I realize this blog has focused quite often on gas and bowel movements, really most of my thoughts have revolved around those subjects the last 2 weeks, and I am really hoping that very soon you will not hear me talking about those anymore! Poor Kayden one day will be mortified to know how much I talked about this with other people!
Just wanted to give you an update on our day, I hope that if I get to blog later I will only have good news to share-no more throwing up!
Thanks again for all of your love and support! Hoping to see all of you living in White Salmon area very soon! I really love all of you in Portland and appreiciate the visits, but hope to have to make a drive to see you again! :)
