Surgery Postponed

We met with Nate’s surgeon in early May, and he has decided to postpone Nate’s surgery for a couple more months. Because Nate seems to be doing well right now and has a complex anatomy (meaning a more intricate surgery), he wants to give Nate the extra time to grow and further lower his lung pressures. It’s hard to be patient, but we are trying hard!

So in the meantime, Nate’s been a busy little bee… rooting for the Lakers, going on Target runs, reading, and visiting the splash pad!

Nate’s been a great helper when he’s at grandma’s house:

And he’s also accompanied Daddy on his grocery store runs. Ever since Disney announced retailing pineapple Dole whip, Joe’s been on a serious mission every weekend to find it. I don’t think it’s hit grocery stores yet, but we will continue look every weekend until we find it lol. Nate’s like….looking at ice cream again?!?!

Update on Nate’s feeding: We transitioned him to toddler formula, which we still tube feed to put less pressure on his oral skills. Feeding wise, we are working on it! Definitely not his favorite.

We transitioned to toddler formula. Praying that he tolerates this well.

We are working on our oral feeds…

but usually this is how it ends LOL

Update on Nate’s walking: Nate cannot wait to run like the big kids.

During PT, he gets to practice with a baby walker, which is the cutest thing.

It’s helped him take his first steps!!!!

This little kid has had a couple of busy weeks, and we are excited to see what (safe) fun summer activities are in store!
