Finally Full

Today Teagan had a suck and swallow test. They need to make sure he can do those things and then they will feed him into his stomach. He passed with flying colors, but he needs to remember how to do both at the same time to get a bottle. But for now they are filling his belly with a feeding tube through his nose and for the first time in three weeks he will have the sensation of being full! We had a pretty uneventful weekend that is great news for us. The doctors are still thinking sometime this week moving us to the floor. Teagan is trying low flow oxygen today and seems to like it, maybe back to room air later today.
We are so thankful to our Father in Heaven for answering our prayers, we couldn't ask for more at this time. Teagan is truly incredible and the lessons he teaches us and others are remarkable. These sweet-HEARTs come in such small packages, but their spirit's fill the whole room. I can only hope Teagan's heart can keep up with his gigantic spirit. Once again I thank you for all of your prayers, support, and gifts.
