One or Two Meatballs

Sunday started with a visit/lesson from Andrew's teacher's quroum from church. Chris and Adam Barker gave the lesson. Ariel sang in a Layton ward so I stayed with her. Dr. Black and Treasure came in this morning to visit with Andrew. Randall told the doctor it was time for Andrew to eat. Randall has being trying for weeks to have them let Andrew eat. The Doctor was not sure and Randall pressed him to explain why it would hurt. Andrew has already had issues with throwing up and Randall explained that what would it hurt to throw up the food he ate. The doctor thought about it and finally agreed and said "Andrew what do you want to eat?", of course Andrew wanted nachos but the deiticians said they could not make that low fat enough. Andrew settled for a roll. The roll went well and Randall convinced the Doctor to continue to let Andrew eat. So now Andrew can have four small meals a day. Later for dinner Andrew again wanted nachos, but he will just have to wait, so he settled for spaghetti. Later, the whole family met at the hospital to visit with Andrew. Cousin, Callie came by in time to see him walk a bit. She hadn't seen him since the PICU so it was a big change for her. We took him up to the third floor to visit. We had a sing-in until it was time for him to return to his room. We are hopeful that the eating continues to go well which means Andrew will be going home soon. If they can take out the suction tube, we could be going home. Alex is on his way back to Fort Lewis. It has been a pretty good weekend!
