We are beginning our last full week of feeding therapy. This is Week 8 and we have completed 80% of our therapy. (In teacher-talk we are at a solid "B" grade)
Brennen is doing really well for a Monday, probably one of the better Monday's that we have had. I think we are beginning to see the positive effects of the medicine he is taking, and I think he just knows the routine.
Today Brennen ate a new vegetable...Green Beans! He did really well with it. He told Ms. Cheryl when she was feeding him that he wasn't going to turn his head away. She laughed and told him what a big boy he was!
Despite all of the wonderful progress, our whole family is growing increasingly tired of the strain of the program. Brennen has asked me after every meal today if we were going to go home now to see Daddy and Sophie. Tim said the first word out of Sophia's mouth this morning was "Mama?". They are feeling the strain of the program now, but are continuing to be the little troopers that they are.
This has been something we have prayed about for a very long time and are so glad this opportunity was available to us. I don't know what would have happened if we did not go through with this therapy. He just seems like a different kid now from when we started. He feels like playing now and his little face looks brighter to me. His hair looks different and he just acts like he feels better.
We thank God for answered prayers and for His timing.

You know when we brought the girls him, their hair was very wirery, stiff, and it seemed to break easily. After getting them on a good diet, their hair was one of the first things to change. Their skin went from dull to shiney and alive looking! It is quite the transformation. So glad Brennen is doing so well. Can't wait to come visit him when he gets home.
