Day 986

Today Ava ate cheerios. She did an amazing job chewing them up. In fact, last night Ava ate a hot dog and some mac n' cheese with her friends. All of a sudden now, she seems to be chewing and swallowing her food. It's an incredible miracle.

Ava had an emptying scan done on her tummy on Monday in Rochester. It was supposed to be an hour long scan, but the 50% of the contents of her tummy went through in a half an hour. We were able to go home quite earlier than expected and she only had to be scanned 3 times. We still haven't heard from GI about how it exactly went, but with the contents moving that fast, we are pretty sure it went well. Hopefully we can get off Eryped for that.

We have entered Ava in a contest for "Preemie Power" where she can possibly win a trip to Disney with your votes. Voting starts tomorrow and you can vote once a day. Here is the link: http://promoshq.wildfireapp.com/website/6/contests/296773/voteable_entries/59726761

Thanking God for Ava's amazing progress and praying for her to continue to eat and chew...
