Today we made a little more progress. Taye slept great through the night, partly because of the new seizure meds he's on. At around 5:30 he woke up and seemed hungry so I gave him 2oz of formula and then another 2oz an hour later. Since he was able to hold that down with no problem, we were able to feed him fairly regularly throughout the day. Also, today was his noisiest day by far. He has found his voice again and by the time Joanna arrived this morning he was voicing his displeasure for everything happening to him. It was actually good to hear him wail a little bit. The entire day basically consisted of him eating, fussing, and sleeping. He's been a little hard to get to sleep now but it seems like he prefers to be rocked in the rocking chair...so that's what we've been doing.
Taye had visits from a couple doctors today and some brief evaluations. Things were a lot quieter since it is the weekend. The doctors continue to be encouraged by his progress. We're still looking at some issues with motor skills in his right leg. But, we accomplished the two goals we had for the day: 1. Keep food down and 2. Move more. Hopefully tomorrow will bring some more tiny steps forward.

I am so sorry to hear about your son, but so grateful to hear about his progress.
How stressful this must be for you.
Lord, we ask that you protect baby Taye and help him to recover fully. We pray that you would restore his eating abilities fully, his movement, and completely heal him from the surgery and the bleed. We thank you Lord, Amen.
My prayers are with you.
