bottle feeding

Nate got to feed Jax out of a bottle for the first time the other night. He is still taking his milk this way even though he is not digesting it he is learning to eat. This is a GREAT thing because he knows how to suck, swallow, and breath on his own. The nurses at NEGA said he would have to be able to do these things before he could come home. This is a sign that his brain is functioning very well. He is having less and less residual and the night before last he had none. The residual is a very light yellow and a little milky so this is very exciting. When I fed him last night he drank the bottle so fast he almost drank all 5cc's when he is only suppose to have 3. Our little angel is fighting with everything he has and God's hand is on him we can all feel it.

As far as we know he will still have another surgery but the testing will not begin until Monday. What would they all say if he just starts eating, the swelling goes down and he is healed? I asked God to heal him with his hands and he is showing signs he is doing so. (in his time) I have not given up on God and his power please do not either because someone in that hospital may need to see God's GREAT power and Jax may already be doing God's will.
