Rock Star

Rock Star, that's the nickname the occupational therapist gave him after he successfully drank 42mls from the bottle this afternoon. It happened to be when I was feeding him too, so I was pretty excited about that. I guess I did something right. He drank from the bottle three times today. We did trach care tonight, which is when we clean around the trach site and his neck and give him a new trach collar. He tolerated that like a champ and was so cooperative, which makes it so much easier. And we gave him a bath, which went much smoother this time. He loved his bath tonight! They rescheduled the MRI for tomorrow morning at 9am, and made no other changes. It won't be much longer before he's home!

Tell the sweet little guy to keep up the good work!
