Well, yesterday went pretty well. We took the tube out early in the morning and had a fairly successful day. Jack got better as the day went on in regards to the bottle or his honey bear cup. We took some good bites of green beans and even ate some tiny pieces of turkey breast lunch meat!! He sucked on a dill pickle, a strawberry, and a cheeto puff! No gagging or crying - woohoo!! He took a couple ounces of diluted apple juice from his honey bear cup (a honey bear bottle with a straw attached - which I adapted even more for his small mouth - OT skills coming in handy at home!) and towards the end of the day he started taking milk from the bottle! It was very successful and our plan is to increase his days off next week to at least 2 and if that continues we'll just keep going!
We took Jack to see the Indianapolis Indians play last night and he started taking the bottle while we were there - I got an action shot with my phone!
