Hungry Boy


Facebook post by Jason:

"For lunch Erin gave john pudding, yogurt, and cream of wheat. He asked for eggs before he realized his tummy hurt and was full. The doctors prescribed 1000 calories a day for him. He is at 800 for the day so far with 550 coming from real food at lunch. No feeding tube at lunch!!!!"

"John is so excited about eating real food he hasn't figured out yet when he needs to stop. He eats and eats and eats until he gags and feels sick. Then he wants to eat some more. He ended up eating about 1,400 calories today. The doctors prescribed 1000 calories. Tomorrow Erin takes John for his therapy sessions. We are hoping that they will decide to take the feeding tube out now that he has eaten more than 1000 calories through real food. We also would like to know that he is safe to eat more solid foods and that he won't panic and choke on it. Thank you to everyone who has been faithfully praying on our behalf."
