2 years old already?

Hey everyone! I can't hardly believe our "baby" is 2 years old today. He has come so far and fought an awesome fight. So, to fill everyone in.... Kaden has had a cold over the past week and some complications from his circumcision. He is still having sleep apnea as well and 90% of the time refuses to eat. He is fed by his pump for about 18 out of 24 hours a day. His g-tube site is healing nicely and he is back to being himself. The terrible two's are really kicking in. Despite his attachment to bottles, he really prefers not to eat. We still offer one every four hours and occasionally he'll take an ounce or two. We've been managing his pain and fever with ibuprofen and he will be having another swallow study done soon. Dr. Yazdi said he may be having apnea from aspirating on his own saliva. So... it is what it is. As for us as a family, we're all hanging in there. I start school on Monday, and am busy with the older kiddos too, so it might be a while before I get back to the site. I'll update more when I can. Take care everyone!
