Eating Champ

This morning we had to break our routine so that Krista, Claire and I could go meet with a potential daycare provider. Claire seemed to enjoy her time at "Miss Connies" house, and is going there for a few hours tomorrow on a trial run.

After a quick stop at the bank, it was off to the hospital. When we arrived, Kelson was not in his crib, he was in a baby swing. He had already rocked to sleep, but apparently enjoyed this new discovery. We missed the 9 AM feeding, but learned that Kelson had drank an entire 60 mL bottle!

Since we didn't get to the hospital until about 10:30, we decided to try feeding him again at noon. However, Kelson was too worn out from his big morning to eat on his own. At 3 PM he was ready to chow down, and drank 50/60 mL. He is making big progress on the bottles.

Today was also the first day without ANY medication. So far, it hasn't seemed to be causing any complications.

The surgeon had also stopped by while we were gone this morning to check on Kelsons hernia. This was a different surgeon than the first one who examined Kelson. This surgeon said Kelson does not need surgery! We were shocked to hear this report, but are also skeptical as to who is right. Hopefully we can get some more answers tomorrow.

Tonight we had more visitors at the house. Claires "God Family",The Voelkers, came to see the new place, and bring Claire her birthday present.
We went to town for dinner, and enjoyed another peaceful evening on the patio. Claire got an inflatable pool, toy sailboats, and a new pair of flip flops. She is going to be set this summer!
