Milestones!!!

Exciting milestones tonight!!! 
I took Isaac to his first swimming lessons, he was such a big boy!  He went without Mommy into his class.  He's had bad separation anxiety, so this was a big deal.

Tonight Nathan actually had 4 bites of a banana!!  YAY Nathan.  During Nathan's transplant he got bad mucositis.  It's caused from the chemo, it  leaves painful open sores down his GI tract.  Since then he's not eaten more than 10% of his caloric needs.  When the g-tube was put in, he basically stopped eating.  He takes about 3 to 5 ounces of water a day by mouth. The little things we take for granted is such a big victory for us. 

Nathan does not like things in his mouth.  We've had lots of therapy for this.  Tonight he let me brush his teeth with a toothbrush for the first time.  He even open his mouth for me!

Tomorrow is a big day.  We have a follow up test with the ophthalmologist to look at the fluid they found a couple of weeks ago accumulating on the optic nerve of his right eye.  Pray for God to completely heal his eye.  The doctors believe this could be caused from his medications.  They have had us stop his weekly infusions.  That was the plus side. We do weekly infusions to supplement his immune system.  I HATE needles, but I HATE  even more having to stick my son with needles.  WE can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens us.

Thank you again for your prayers.
