Solid Food

Ethan has found a new food - applesauce! Yes, that's right, last Thursday, 12/27 we started introducing solid foods and he seems to like the applesauce. To get him used to it and to make sure he's not allergic, we're only introducing one new solid food a week. This week, we'll try out bananas. We're so pleased that he likes to eat and that he's gaining weight steadily. He's currently 15 lb. 4 oz. (6.92 kg). We're hoping that the introduction of solid foods before his surgery will help him out with any eating issues post-surgery. It's hard to believe we're under 3 weeks now! Please keep us in your prayers as time gets close.

Pray for good health and for us to not go insane (especially me - Julie - since I don't have the "daily outing" of going to work like Dan does) as we do our best to keep Ethan quarantined at home so that he can stay healthy for surgery. Even as much as a stuffy nose could postpone the surgery and we just want to get it over with as soon as possible so we can have our little boy back home with us again.
