The amazing journey of a brave, fun-loving, creative boy who is enduring and has overcome so much already: failure to thrive, feeding tube dependency, food allergies, silent reflux, pulmonary valvar stenosis, chiari malformation, syringomyelia, retroflexed odontoid, mild bilateral hearing loss, a blood coagulation disorder, and Noonan Syndrome.

Weaning update
We completed another 3 day trial wean and again Auggie made progress. He now will take solids via spoon - he took 3 tablespoons on the third day of the trial wean. He also takes a bottle in his mouth - took 1/2 oz. in 20 minutes. That's progress!! The next step is to propose a full blown wean - in other words, wean him completely with no going back! We hope to start a modified Graz/Markus Wilken type wean on January 10th.
