James had a weight check last week, and he's now officially 10lb 1.5oz! That means he gained a whole pound over two weeks, so the feeding tube is working. Praise God! I'm also enjoying not having to get up in the middle of the night to feed James. :D
James is also getting therapy through ECI, and we are supplementing that with outpatient therapy. Thank you for your prayers for James in that area.
Please continue to pray for James' oral motor skills and his feedings. I changed his bottle nipples the other day to ones with more holes, and so far that has not made a difference. We need James to drink more efficiently and quickly as well as drink more at each feeding in order for the feeding tube to come out.
I'll post new pictures soon!

Yay! I'm really glad that you don't have to get up in the middle of the night to feed him... that's a huge deal.
Hi Kel! I found your blog!!! Yay for more sleep!
glad he is gaining weight. will continue to pray for his oral skills! the kids think it is funny to be so specific in prayers - his cheek, his lips, his tongues, etc.
