First bites! YUMMMMMM!Sorry it has taken so long to write an update, but we have been busy bees around here! Alex is doing GREAT! He is up most of the day either walking or sitting in his chair. They removed his NG tube on the 4th and he tolerated his own secretions very well throughout the day and night. Yesterday, he started with clear liquids and was on a full liquid diet and did great with his Frosty and oatmeal. The doctors were just in this morning and changed him to a regular diet for breakfast this morning! Yea! They want him to eat, eat and eat today to see how his body is able to handle digestion through his new connection. The doctors anticipate that if he does well with the food today, they will discontinue the TPN and he may be discharged tomorrow!
God is so good...he has provided just what we asked for....NO nausea and very well-controlled pain. I wish I could find the words that would adequately express the immense feelings of gratitude we have for all of the love and support that has surrounded Alex. Thank you again to our prayer warriors across the country.
Love, hugs and kisses to all of you! Below are just some fun pictures of Alex and Lydia. :)

Yeah! That's great news! I wish you continued health on the road to recovery!
Horray for eating food and being up and around!! And that picture of little Miss Lydia is just too stinkin' cute...Love to you all...The Brunins
Awesome update!
So glad things are moving along so productively. :-)
I remember how good it felt to eat real food after being on a liquid diet for so long. I can only imagine how yummy it is for Alex! He's had to endure it for so much longer. I had never remembered plain scrambled eggs and french toast being so tasty!
Hope tomorrow he gets discharged :-D
YUM!YUM! That does look GOOD!
Sounds like you'll all be home for Alex's birthday and he'll be able to have a BIG piece of cake and some ice cream.
Give Lyddie Lou a hug from Great Uncle Mic and Great Aunt Bethanne
So thankful for all the answered prayers!!!! Will continue the prayers and can just see the big smile on your face!
I am so moved by your words and images. I am saddened by the health of my cousin but yet see the light at the end of the tunnel that you have so graciously painted for me and other bloggers, and, of course, and most importantly, for Alex. I wish him continued healing and you, Gena, the strength and faith to see him through it. You are amazing!
