Hello! finally a moment to leave a note. We are doing well, Abram is over a cold and constant diarrhea so mama and dad are getting better rest. He had his first Christmas with our good friends, the Durans, last night and seemed to be worn out today from it all. He received a ton of toys and the cutest outfits! He had a great time and seemed to be in the Christmas spirit! We continue to visit doctors about once a week. Abe's liver is slightly enlarged and the docs are trying to find out why. Nothing real obvious. He had a swallow study and we learned that Abram aspirates thin liquids so he is not on the bottle right now, but taking in bites of babyfood and pureed food that is thickened. Friday we will attend an occupational therapy consult which will hopefully teach us how to feed abram his formula. We were making some progress with oral feedings, slow, but progress - until we learned he was aspirating and had to stop, hopefully only temporarily. We are so busy keeping the house spic and span for showings as we look for ranch style home for Abram to live in as we expect stairs will tire him easily, and since I can't return to work we need to downsize a bit. Sad that we have to leave our first house where we have so many memories, and the comfort of knowing only we have lived here so we know what germs are here! But we will take these memories, and clorox wipes, to the next house and make it our home. That's all for now. Love to all, Erin
