Grace Unhinged -- A mom's daily ramblings of raising a daughter and three sons. Young adults, twin boys, a farm with goats to chickens, gardening and quilting, work and my sweet husband especially. Taking a day at a time and by the grace of God, we make it thru.

Therapy homework
Tommy continues to be a happy participant in his oral therapy homework. Using our pinky finger, a pacifier or trying a bottle has become part of our NG feeding sessions. We begin his feedings with sign language for 'eating' and he has become familiar with the sounds of his new enteral feeding pump. Soon we will receive our Zvibe and can begin using some vibrations in his mouth. With less than four weeks until his heart surgery.... we hope Tommy will have the energy and the oral stimulation to want to nurse or drink from a bottle.
