Home again

David was finally released on Monday morning at 930. On his arrival home, he was greeted by two very loving sisters who were thrilled to have him back, and he too seemed very happy to be home. It was (and continues to be) a long hard road, but he is forging his way ahead. Monday was rough in terms of eating - obviously, it continues to be painful for him to take the bottle, so his consumption is very limited. He continues to need fairly substantial pain medication, which he does not love to take. Progress is being made though, little by little his appetite increases.

On Tuesday he did better, taking several ounces at several sittings, and a whopping 7.5 this evening. Pray that his little belly would be yearning for more, and that his little mouth would feel good enough to take it.
