Hello everyone!  Well, we have finished the feeding program, and it was a huge success.  Although we still have a long way to go, Elise is eating more by mouth than she ever has.  She has learned to suck liquid through a straw, and loves to drink water after playing outside.  Right now our lives are set to her feeding schedule, but we are adjusting.  It really helps her to keep the schedule, so she knows what to expect next.  Jason's Mom is in town, and we successfully all ate out for dinner last night.  I was even able to feed Elise from my plate for her dinner, plus what I brought from home.  It was wonderful!!!  She is still getting tube feedings, because she isn't eating enough calories and liquids on her own yet.  But that is what we will be working towards over the next months to year.  Her reward for finishing the program was the tricycle in the pictures.  She hasn't figured out the pedals yet, but likes it when we push her around.  We will have a busy next two weeks, as we have fun with Jason's Mom and then my Mom.  And, we will be heading to Gainesville to hopefully find a house to rent starting in August.  We can't wait to get into a bigger place, and have all of our belongings with us.  I hope you guys have a great two weeks.  Love you all!  Kristin
