So Lewis finally rolled over from his back to his front, he's been rolling around a while now but was comfy just lying on his side n if he got to close to being on his tummy he didn't like it and flipped right over again onto his back, but on Saturday (1st May lol) he was lying on our bed we were playing with him and he done his usual onto his side but then he kept himself going, right onto his tummy, so proud of him actually letting himself do it even though he hates being on his tummy and he was quite happy lying there on it for a good 5 minutes, well done my wee sunshine warrior Lewis, sooooo proud of you and how far you've come in your (nearly) 6 months lol, can't believe he's nearly 6 months, where's the time gone :s
Tomorrow (5th May) Lewis goes back into yorkhill for a PH study and a Contrast Study, i'm hoping things won't be so bad they'll want to do the Nissen (fundoplication) can't bear the thought of another operation like that for him but i guess if it'll help him then i'm all for it, i also want to discuss while we're there about the possibility of fitting him with a G tube so we can get rid of the NG tube, i think that may be the cause for the problems he has an hopefully a way forward with learning him to eat, can't stand the thought of the G tube getting fitted or just being there either but again if it's going to help him make steps forward with oral eating then i'm all for it.
Check out Lewis's new Blog Header, i threw it together last night, wanted to keep the same colours etc so just changed them round a bit, also put his photo on it from the night he was born (12th November 2009) and then 1 from just the other day (1st May) what a difference in him he's came so far has my little man.
We also took a wee trip last week just an hour n halfs drive to meet some wonderful ladies who i met through SANDS after losing Nathan, they were so pleased to see Lewis for the 1st time and he was so well behaved as always, he's a a right ladies man is Lewis, giving out kisses within 5 minutes, that day we discovered Lewis likes metal spoons, we were out for lunch and mummy was being naughty having pudding and Lewis was grabbing the sppon and pulling it to his mouth and was happy with it just sitting in his mouth, so out has gone the plastic spoons at home and in with the metal ones, which he does seem to prefer, but he preferred sucking sweet potato off my finger, which meant that he actually got some of it swallowed, he still won't suck a bottle though but know he can actually suck because he sucks his fingers all the time big loud sucking noises lol and then sucking food off my finger but he won't take it off the spoon metal or otherwise, he'll happily have the empty spoon in his mouth though, this whole CDH, eating issues, oral aversions thing is weird lol

Love the new header! I hope that the doctors apt goes well and they don't want to do another surgery. Yeah for Lewis for rolling over! He's getting to be such a big boy!!
Hi Hayley,
what a beautiful little man you have! Congrats, he's come and long way and is doing very, very well. I hope your appointment goes well today. We are thinking of you. Have you tried letting him play with food himself? A friend of Alina's had oral aversion and he only started eating when his mom started cutting up little bits of food for him. It took a while- about 1 month but in the end he started feeding himself. I also read somewhere that babies need to try the same food 2-3 times before they accept it, so don't give up if he doesn't do anything at first.
Good luck and we are looking forward to reading more about Lewis' progress.
Hugs from the Houchins.
Hayley,you'll know whats best for Lewis...and even if he needs a funo and g-tube these are only little steps in the right direction.Kadens had them both and still has a g-tube,but it doesnt affect him in anyway.Lewis is a star:O)xx
Way to go Lewis on rolling over. What a big boy! Hope the appt went well.
