Grace eats via a gtube, she has her whole life and we've tried hard over the years to have her eat orally; which now, she certainly can but because we are trying to get her to gain some weight, her majority of her nutrition is through the formula she has through her gtube.
Well, this week with the help of her early evening PCA's who help with dinner, and bath routine, Grace has soared with eating one of her favorite things: Mashed Potatoes!! We take the meal of the night and pulverize it and then mix with the mashed potatoes. She has eaten 4 days worth of about 1.5 oz nightly!
I have seen so much growth & maturity in the last few months from her and I owe it to her PCA's; three that have just started with us in the past two months! We are grateful & blessed to have them in our life, and hers!! (the laughter that comes from her is an amazing sound!!)
I'm excited to watch her growth & maturity continue.. she is a routine girl and I know having the right people with her will help her to continue to grow! My heart is full!
