Big Weekend Event Coming Up: Tube Free for a Day!

Auggie will be going tube free for 8-10 hours this weekend (or as long as I can bear it) as we experiment with solids.  He has not done very well taking solids and I think it's because of that damn tube in his throat.  He smacks his lips when he sees us eating and he eagerly pulls his bowl towards him, but when I swipe his lips with some food and he sucks it in, he often vomits.  He does not open his mouth for a spoon or my finger, instead I have to get some on his lips and then he sucks it in.  I'm also hoping that he will nurse more when off the tube.  I will post a report card after the weekend.
