Well, it's hard to believe, but Zeke is 9 months old now. He had his check up today and things went pretty well. He is obviously delayed in most areas, but we are hoping that his upcoming surgery will him to do some catching up. He has lost a few ounces, so please continue to pray for Zeke's eating and weight gain. He is still getting the tube feedings at night so we aren't really sure why he's losing weight. We were really disappointed. We are going to increase his intake of formula as well as solids and hopefully this will help. She also said that he's on track as far as speech goes. He's babbling a lot and even mimicking some. (Especially Dada!) We are very excited about this!
We saw Dr. Matthews--the reconstructive surgeon--on Friday, but still no date for the surgery. Dr. Matthews has ordered a 3D life size model of his head so that he can plan out exactly what he wants to do. That should be here this week so we should hopefully know something late this week or early next week. We're all a little nervous about that surgery, but excited about how it will improve his development.
Thank you all again for all of your faithfulness to prayer.
Brian and Melissa
