The Hanna Family

The poll results are in. It seems that the highest number of votes were for Jonah looking like Shane, then that both boys look like us and thirdly that Noah looks like Shane....ha ha ha! So there you go, it seems that everyone thinks the boys look like us or Shane.

Noah seems to really like squash. Yeah! He gobbled it up tonight which is great. He still managed to gag himself on his rattle and spit up a bit but that is not due to stomach discomfort.

We had another long day down in Fresno today. Aunt Valerie came with us to make the long, hot trip. Noah is starting another asthma treatment that we may eventually use to replace the Albuterol he is using. We also are trying to wean him off Lasix. It will be nice to have him off at least one diuretic.

The GI Clinic was pleased with the boys weight gain. Noah almost made their minimum goal for weight gain since his last visit so they decided it was close enough to pass for now. We are attempting to deal with his hate for the bottle right now by adding more Benecalorie and plugging along with the solids. He still hates his sippy cup but will drink just straight out of a cup without a nipple, etc. He is so silly! So we'll have to keep up with the sippy cup and see if we can't get him one he likes.

Jonah is starting solids too! The physician's assistant we met with today said we should go ahead and start him. He had his first bout with green beans tonight and did well. He still thrusts his tongue a lot but hopefully this will improve with more practice. We also put in for an occupational therapy evaluation so they can assess his tongue thrusting, ability to eat solids well, etc. I am sure they will want us to NUK brush him also for help.

So that is the latest on our little men. We hope everyone else is doing well.
