Peanut Butter!

I like peanut butter, creamy peanut butter, chunky peanut butter, too! LJ had 2 granola bars dipped in whipped cream for breakfast this morning.  He tried some egg salad too.  Then for lunch he polished off about 6 tablespoons of Jif creamy peanut butter on sugar wafer cookies.  Since he still isn't quite able to manage drinking and the peanut butter was so sticky, we give him drops of water from a straw in between bites.

LJ gets 4 ounces of blenderized food flushed with 4 ounces of water at bedtime just so he can get a good night's sleep (us too!).  The night-time tube feeding will not have any effect on our progress since he will be happier and better-rested when we start working the next morning.  Its also safer for him not be too dehydrated. Markus and Jeni also believe that if we let him get too far zoned out he may get sick which would obviously not help the tube wean.  With each day, it is getting better and better.  LJ is doing an awesome job.
