Got Milk?

Great news! I was given my first bottle yesterday and I did pretty good. I was able to take 2/3 of an ounce before getting tired. I know it doesn't seem like a lot, but it is for me. They are now going to start trying one bottle a day. My Mom also started trying to breastfeed and I latched on pretty good for my first try. Things have been going pretty good. For the 3rd week in a row, there was no change in my eye test, so that means that it is not getting progressively worse. I also passed some liver screening test that I had to take. I am continuing with all of my therapy and have been gaining weight pretty good. I am up to 4lbs 4oz today. I'm really starting to fill out my clothes.

Speaking of clothes, the funniest thing happened on Sunday. I know most of you probably know how much my Mom despises the color yellow - long story short (childhood trauma, yellow coat, big kid = Big Bird, 'nuf said). Anyway, I had a nurse that was not so familiar with me and she didn't know I had my own clothes, so she put this yellow onesie on me - ha, ha, ha. I thought my Mom was having a flashback of being called Big Bird by those mean kids, because she looked shocked. Needless to say, the nurses now know Mommy doesn't like yellow. Well, that's about it for now. I have about another week before the steroids are scheduled to be done, so we'll see then.

  4. Just so you know Kyle Grandma always thought your mom looked cute in her yellow coat (she was just self conscious since she was always taller than the other kids, but she grew out of it, pun intended) but not as cute as you were on Sunday!
    Love you, Grandma

  5. Hello I am the Kids Agent. The reason why my mom was holding my hand was because I was so upset at her for putting this damn "Deerlo" on me and I started to have a fit. What the hell mom, I may be small but I know the difference between Polo and Deerlo. Is this John Deere gear or something. Dad will you talk to mom about her fashion techniques, I'm not a little girl that can get away with buying cheap clothes at Target or Old Navy.Happy trails Yall and I love you mom. Kids have rights too and the right to no "Deerlo" is one of them! God Bless

  6. I'm so glad Kyle is doing so well Andrea. You guys are often in my thoughts and my prayers. You've done a fantastic job with this blog and I really enjoyed reading all about the adventures of your little man and seeing the beautiful photos. I can't get over how much hair he has. It took Emma like 2 years to get that much hair!!

    You've got a special little guy there - I'm so happy for you!

    Continued blessings-
    Carrie Kyes
