She's no slouch

While it seemed clear to me last week that Roxy needed G tube surgery, the surgeon didn't see it that way. He wants to put off making a decision for a couple of months, to see if Roxy's feeding training progresses well. If it looks like she might be able to get all of her nutrition orally within about 6 months or so, then he doesn't want to put her through the surgery for such a short-term gain. Makes sense to me.

Roxanne is, indeed, getting stronger. Up till last week, when I took Roxanne to the grocery store, I put her in either an infant car seat or one of those bucket seats that are attached to the cart. On our last visit, she was able to sit up in the child seat at the front of the cart. She looked so mature! Granted, she got a little slumpy by the end of the trip, but she made it through.

Who are you calling slumpy?
