This New Year is already starting out better than the last year. Jacob's therapists are very happy with his progress. The focus now is on his feeding. No one wants Jacob to be on his feeding tube forever. Jacob is going to have to learn to eat even though he makes it quite challenging. As it stands now, he tolerates one half of a jar of baby food at a time before he throws a fit. Is he tired? Is he just lazy? I wish he could just tell us but he can't. We have had great success with the nursing staff too. We started using a new agency and they seem to have much better management and really run a tighter ship. I feel that he is getting very good care from his nurses. On the down side, he still is not rolling over on his own or making any apparent progress with his left leg. I know he will eventually be ambulatory but I can be a bit impatient. He was having some trouble last weekend with vomiting. He got a clean bill of health from the pediatrician but I was a bit concerened. He seems to be all better now. Let's see what the rest of the year has to offer. A lengthy visit to the hospital would not be welcome this year.
