Praise God, Avery's getting better every day and also getting harder and harder to manage as his motor skills are improving. He's starting to try to pull out his tubes, remove tape, and overall just realize his situation. He's slowly accepting the fact that he has a feeding tube and becoming less angry about it.
The referral process has already started to move us from here to a rehab hospital where we will stay and he will enter an intense rehab program. His next PLEX is scheduled for Tuesday next week, and depending on his condition, the doctors may order more or just leave #7 as the final. We still do not know when we will be released from here; most likely once the hospital doesn't need to perform anymore medical treatment.
His mouth is still shut, so we're hoping he can start to open his mouth and start to eat, or else the feeding tube will have to stay for a while longer.
Below are two charts I've been keeping on his progress:
Heartiest congratulations! I wish I was there to see him his big improvement! You guys have patience gone through each steps. Be strong & hang in there the most difficult time has lifted. My Mom & I pray for Avery every night.
