The surgeon came in today to check on Grace. He is a man of few words. When we had our second big MRI after her 6th round of chemo, I am told he looked at the scan and said, "Argh" and walked out of the room. It wasn't what he wanted to see. So today, he looks at Grace and says, "It looks like she has turned the corner" and that was it.
I got the go ahead today to start nursing her. I have been trying all day but she hasn't been interested. Every time I have tried to nurse her she just cries and pushes away. So I have been thinking it is going to be awhile before we can get her back to full feeds. Anyways, I hung around though on the unit until late tonight, it's 11:00. She finally just turned bright red, starting gagging, and hocked up the biggest ball of mucous. Then, she proceeded to nurse like a champ again. Thank goodness she hasn't forgotten!

That is so wonderful! I can't believe you've been able to keep up with nursing all this time. You are so amazing!
Great news!!! I too am amazed that you have kept nursing, and even better that she remembered!!
