Mommy decided to try to feed me some juice this morning by syringe. It was only .5 cc's or so, but I loved it! I kept coming back for more. Later, when Daddy got home from work, he gave me some, too. Although I initially make a funny face, I start getting excited and want more so my parents figure I must like it. Unfortunately, all the excitement causes lots of secretions and therefore lots of suctioning, but my parents are just happy to see me enjoying something by mouth so much. They hope that means that in the future when my jaw has been distracted and maybe my trach has been removed learning to eat by mouth won't be so difficult.
